I'm putting this out there to see if there is interest in this exceptional build of an AIM-120B model rocket.

This beautiful Performance Rocketry AIM-120B model stands 73" tall, is 3.5" in diameter, sports a 54mm fiberglass motor mount, Aero Pack motor retention (cap included with the sale), an AV Bay mid-ship, and a 3.5" fiberglass 3:1 nosecone. She's finished in gray paint with Stickershock decals that make this scale model look just like the real thing!

This was expertly built using using FW fiberglass airframes, G10 fiberglass TTW fins (even on the upper fins), the 3.5" fiberglass nosecone mentioned above, and all put together with West Systems epoxy. There is even a provision for adding a radio transmitter in the nosecone in its current configuration. If you've ever seen any of the builds that I'm offering (like the Formula 200 that recently sold), you know that these are strong, solid builds with great attention paid to detail that fly true and straight - fins were mounted with so much care and attention to detail that you'd think that a machine lined them up.

This rocket has a 54mm AV Bay contained within the roughly 8" exposed section where the upper fins are located with the coupler extending fore and aft from that section to the payload bay and booster. The reason for the 54mm AV Bay was to allow TTW fin mounting for the forward fins. Thus, this is a traditional dual-deploy build that would see the recovery equipment located in the payload bay between the nosecone and coupler/AV Bay.

It will easily handle a 54mm 6XL motor casing for flights that SIM to well over 9000ft (almost 10,000') with an L-990-BS. This rocket will come with the RockSim file for the build.

TRF limits listings to 10 photos, but I can provide more (AV Bay, etc) if needed. Just PM me.

Looking for about $350 shipped to the USA for this AWESOME rocket, but open to offers/negotiation... Thank you! S

You guys are too kind, but it's not my build. It was built by a friend of mine in Virginia that got out of rocketry, and I bought him out. His building skills were exceptional, but what else do you expect from a scientist that worked for NASA???
