That looks awesome. I think a night launch video is in order. Good luck.

I bet someone out there can do one up on a 3D printer. Have it rear eject.

Thanks.

That's it

What do you do if your fins are "chrome" ?

Looks like one of those Glamour shots. Pretty.

The first picture is Champ. He was a great companion for 13 years. He passed away in November. The second picture is Lucy. She's been with us going on 3 years. The last picture is Ricky. The kids surprised me on my birthday last week with him. I found out he was born the day after Champ...

Sweet! Nice build.

Does this count? Nothing to look at, really. But once it blows up, who cares.:wink: Here's a couple more:

The nose was a result of inexperience on the lathe. Can't quite get the hang of making a point. My thinking for Thunderstorm is main color flat black with accents in gloss black. I think I will paint the nose on the nose gloss black. I wasn't sure about the blue until I saw it on the rocket...

You've got something there. Both body tubes are the same size. Maybe I'll switch them out and see how they look. Well, I tried it. Won't work since the one nose cone has the canopy on it. I could always make another nose cone. :wink:

Not sure why this thread died. Here's my sport themed rockets. Scratch built Columbus Blue Jackets and a Leviathan turned into Brutus Buckeye.

Thanks guys. Can't wait to fly them. If I can't get out tonight, Friday is the next best day. I have a couple of G53's ready to go.
