When you duplicate the original design of a kit, that's a clone. But the kit is the Saturn 1B design, and you're not using the Estes parts, so in what way is is a clone? Isn't it just your own 1/100th scale Saturn 1B?Dry fitted the parts for an Estes 1/100 Saturn 1B clone, using readily available tubes instead of those dang @#$$&%$#@ specialty tubes that came with the original kit.
Used the original plans/instructions, and substituted parts due to unavailability of the specialty sizes. When someone duplicates a design and the plastic parts are unavailable and he substitutes balsa, as in a nose cone, don't we still call it a clone? But if you prefer, you can call it a clone(ish).When you duplicate the original design of a kit, that's a clone.

Gee, I feel for you bro.
Joined Tripoli today, to go along with my NAR membership. Happy to support both national organizations.
Professor asked if I held an L-1. Said yes. Then he volunteers me to fly the university’s multistage rocket this weekend. LOL going to Florida.
I'm probably the worst one when it comes to finishing a rocket. The one in the primer I've had sitting around for years, At least it's got one flite under its belt."I promise you BlackFly, I will get around to finishing you soon. Same to you DarkStar Jr., and you QCC Explorer, and you...... etc."

How about a little competition Andrew? Winner gets to talk all the smack they want. Ha! your not chicken are you!X1.4 prepped for a Tampa Test flight with G-145.
Battle of the G’s. I like it. More afraid of losing X1.4 than losing ego. Lol.How about a little competition Andrew? Winner gets to talk all the smack they want. Ha! your not chicken are you!
Are you saying the battle cruiser is an RC glider? I see the added vertical tail and what look like control surfaces on the trailing edge of the body. If that's what you've done then you are a candidate for Coolest Person Alive.Got my first R/C rocket glider to the point...
I believe it is a Franke Burke Dynasoar Rocketry glider kit iirc, but Bernard IS a pretty cool guy! [emoji41]Are you saying the battle cruiser is an RC glider?
