Clone - Shrox Icarus

There was an early post looking for the fin pattern for this rocket. I knew that I had the Rocksim file but had never built it. Looking through the file and parts I had on hand, there was a match so I decided to give it a try. I followed the Rocksim plan but added a FlisKits baffle to the top of the BT50. I was hoping to find a scan of the decals somewhere but no luck so I just recreated most of them with some slight changes. I was pleased how it turned out. The first launch was last Saturday at the MASA July launch. I used a C6-5 but will need to goto a C6-3 if I am launch it again. The rocket did well in flight but landed in an irrigation ditch and filled with water. I am sure I will be able to fly it again with some repairs.

Great job. I like that kit. Too bad it is no longer available.

Well CW, in a way Ron proves it lives on!

That is true. He don't need no stinkin' kit. Not that anything from Shrox is stinkin'.

That's one I'd like to copy to the gallery if I may!

Fell free to do so.

Is Shrox still around?

I know his kits are. Apogee and a few other places sells them.
