I have for sale a 6" diameter super Arlis rocket for sale: two 4foot sections of G10 fiberglass body tubes, and 5 to one fiberglass conical cone.
Aluminum and G10 couplers. 4 black aluminum Arliss fins. Full size inside aluminum fin can with pre-drilled threads to accept the bolts for the metal fins. (not the shorty original Arlis fin can you had to drill yourself)
Spun aluminum 6" to 98mm tail cone holds Aero-Pak screw on retainer included. 98mm HD kraft tube motor tube and HD wood rings.
This is basically a super tricked out "Super Wildman 6" G10 rocket with the hard to get 5 to one conical fiberglass nose cone, plus the special Arlis Aluminum parts.

The fin can was $129
The Spun Aluminum Tail Cone cost $150 to have made
The Aero-pac 98mm screw on motor retainer cost about $55-70
The Arlis black Aluminum fins when they were around cost $125
The Super Wildman G10 kit when it was around was $399
The upgrade to the 6" 31" 5 to one conical nose cone was Unobtainium
Looking to move for around $650

Here is the link to the Rocksim file https://k8xg.com/files/O-My-98.zip
and below is the drawing. Note no engine is loaded in this drawing and hence why it is over stable ;)

Some have asked what the fins are like and the tail cone. I had the tail cone made out of natural color aluminium and the fins are black. Here is the tail cone from Red Glare rockets I used as "inspriation" for the custom one I had made. Note mine is not red, but natural gloss. And my lower booster tube is a full 4 foot long, this one is shorter it seems in the Red Glare Photo. Mine is all in my back yard shed whose doors are blocked in with snow. I will dig the snow out, get all the parts out, and picture them if I have a serious inquiry.

Ooohhh! A world famous Upton Unboxing thread (hopefully with beer)! Somebody, please make the serious inquiry- it's been waaay too long since we've had a good unboxing thread. ;)
 
Ok after drinking a Yuengling Lager, someone with a higher voice than mine just reminded me here that some of the parts are not snowed up in the workshed out back, but in the room a certain blue machine hides out in all winter long.

Here is the Aluminum Tail Cone in all its shiny glory and the Aero Pack its drilled out to fit. Also a box of bolts to attach the fins is on the left and plenty of rings, bulkheads and stuff under the Tail Cone. Some History on the 98mm Aero Pack; its the original that was on the Fin Flappin' Booster Bruiser that met its match with the Demon in the sky at LDRS 25 in Texas.

While taking the picture of the Tail Cone on the bench in the room that holds the blue machine, I heard some rustling noises coming from the far corner and moving down the far wall. Turns out the Nose Cone was trying to run off and hide like a common Garden Gnome ;)

Someone just bought it from me, if I suspect just who CATO is ;)
Now sold and I had planed a week more of more pictures per day to tease with, LOL.

Thank goodness that's over! My conscience and wallet were wrestling it out and the wallet was pinned for the count. It's a shame too, as my wallet suffers from S.A.D. (Sudden Acquisition Disability) while my conscience suffers from W.A.R.P.(Whoopee! Another Rocket Part!). I'd be bi-polar if it weren't for all the other little voices... Thanks CATO, for rescuing my sanity and wallet.
