Fleet rebuild - adding another to the many great blackbird build threads here. This one is a clone that I built with my kid in about 1.5wks. Many thanks to Lockheed, Estes, JimZ, and the people who've posted prior. Special thanks to LUNAR for the spare parts and Sandy H. for the Estes nose...

The scratch-built, tube-fin, goony Moonbug of my youth (the original in my current avatar) was lost recently so I'm building a modified replacement. A lot of things seem backwards on this design. Some possible challenges: engine/motor mount axis alignment (2.75" with only one centering ring)...

Well, this may be a little foolhardy and I'm likely to crash & burn assuming I can get this done, but I'll attempt the Babylon 5, Earth Alliance Mitchell-Hyundyne SA-23E Starfury: <-- Artwork by Randy Asplund for the Revell/Monogram kit. Blueprints are here...

Hi everyone, I've been lurking the forums for a while and finally decided to join! I used to build & fly Centuri & Estes (and maybe one MPC?) rockets decades ago and really miss it. I probably would've studied aero/astro if I hadn't been derailed by computers & tech. All my (former)...
