Let's see those Goonies!

I'll start things off. Where would we be without all the Goonies from Phred?

One more from Excelsior as well as the three Groonies from Semroc.

Some of my own builds. The Goonyceptor was inspired by Swingwing.

And a few more. The Goondromeda still needs some decals.

Do you think any body is going to want to post pics after that un-toppable collection of awesome goonies?


I have but one to offer.

Indiana,
That's a slick Goonmanchee.

My Goonie fleet is nowhere near as intimidating as Micromeisters MMX birds.

I'm not so much into goons but these are just plain fun!

My compliments on all those, they are awesome. I love the Goonlantis

Hey! Cut it out.

I just finish up my Goonyceptor, and there you go putting out the Goonylantis.

Stop it.

Now!

(grin). . .

Ok, now that it's off my chest, got any templates / decal sets for that Goonylantis???

I LOVE the Goonylantis and Goondromeda. They are just too cool...

... now I have to figure out how to clone them ...

That Goonmanche 3 is sweet. Is it 3 stages? Flight report too please

I've never built a Goony, and all of these are just incredible. I am not sure where I'd even start -- any one would be a fun project.

Very creative, all of you.

Blades, you are a true goon!! The Goonlantis is my new favorite!!! :dancing2: This forum needs a dancing bananna smilie!!

Yer killin us here Blades! Nice Goon's When I grow up I want to build Goon's Like those.

The Goonlantis uses the same templates as the regular Atlantis which are available at Jimz's or YORP. Almost forgot, the upper deck needs to be shortened. For the decals, I just ordered a regular set from Phred and made a couple of new ones for the name.

MikeyD, those are some seriously awesome Goonies you have there. I'm definitely going to have do do a Bomarc.

Okay, I'm continuing two things after this thread:

1) Starting a Goony build list, with priorities.

2) Using every H.L. I can find to buying Baby Bertha kits.

Two from last fall.

TheX-wing flies at EVERY school demo.

I've gone through a lot a Baby Bertha's. ACSupplies is about the best price I've found for the BB. ~$5.50 isn't too bad for a nice bird like this.

Thanks! I built it as a two stage, both 18mm. It flies great, very stable and not a lot of weather cocking. I've flown it in winds up to about 15MPH with no problems. The fins are the stock Comanchie size.


Here's a link to the rocksim files for a 2 and 3 stage version: https://www.rocketryforum.com/showpost.php?p=519555&postcount=51

Noce set of Goonies, Blades! I was kinda surprised that you had a Sky Goon in there, but you know there was an unofficial 7th Goonie from Estes - the Mini Shuttle:

I think you need one of those for your collection!

All of those are really sweet. Someone should kit them, they're gold. I better start collecting Baby Berthas.

The Sky Goon is one of my favorites. Best of all, it actually glides pretty well.

Here's one that may not count. It has the standard BT60 nose of the Goonies, but is on a BT80 body tube. I built it for my son when he was about 4. It has been mainly grounded as, with the low wings, the thing wants to "fly" instead of "launch", so it goes kinda unpredictabel at times.

I have one of these at home in my stash. I had totally forgotten it! It looks pretty goonie to me, and it even uses the same body tube as the original goonies. Guess I'll have to build it.

I've built a few Goonies and Goony-esque rockets.

~ Goony Asteroid Explorer and the painful results of its first and only flight.

~ Goony LOC Viper 3

~ A Goonified upscale of the 220 Swift which I called the .44 Mag-goon. 2" BT and a 24mm MMT.

~ Goonified version of the Sizzler that I called the Guzzler.

~ Goonified Patriot.

Very nice Maricopasem. I especially like your .44 Maggoon. Very much in the spirit of Gooniness.

You're too kind, especially considering the quality of your work.

It flew well several times on D12's but the fins didn't survive. I removed the fin remnants and attached new ones to make it an upscale Mosquito. Its first flight was on an E9 and was amazing. However, it landed on the only building for a great distance and was unrecoverable. :cry:
