yeah i am going to glass the whole airframe, and also use carbon fiber to attach the fins to the MMT, once question is , watweight glass? i think 6oz is to light and i would rather do one layer of say 12oz and a veil of 3oz than 2 layers of 6oz and a veil of 3oz matt

it came with no instructions, im not sure if there smaller kits come with instructions, i really like the kit, its pretty basic, no chutes, only on strap nylon shock cord. matt

here is a pics of just the fins, thats a B-6 on top for scale

a shot of the lower sections

hey guys here are few pics of a poject me and Gerry Munden (they only importer of rocket stuff in NZ) have undertaken. This rocket when built will be the biggest ever built in New Zealand, its a 2 stage with both stages having 98mmt's its 22FT tall , does anyone have any tips for attaching...

ill clear a few things up about New Zealand Laws, basically there is no real laws on making small amounts of rocket propellant mainly because there is only 10 in New Zealand making propellant and there is no way to get the required chems. We are lucky as we are good friends with the owner of...

Hi does anyone have any info on making Scale Nike smoke decals? like what sizes and the type of font, as there are a few people on here building Nike smokes (Polecat 1/3 scale Nike's!) but i haven't seen any info on decals and now i need some for my Nike thanks

Mine fits me Perfectly though i do have a job now, so i guess i should change it.

Dan, I had the same problem and i tried everything but I'm pretty sure the epoxy locked into the tube, even with lots of mold release on the tube, so i cant help with this tube but for next time try reading https://www.aeroconsystems.com/tips/cloud_FG_tubes.htm i got some mylar sheet and tried...

in this pic one of H128s has almost burned out and the other one is at full pressure, with the not so vertical flight and with dual deployment in there i got a altitude reading of 2722 feet

here is some pics from my nike smoke i flew this weekend, there was problems with the hypertek ground support so i flew 2 H128s and one J350. in the first pic one of the H128s isnt up to pressure yet.

the dual deployment kit comes with 2 tubes instead of 1 tube, and a LOC coupler (which is way to thin and needs fiberglass reinforcement) and 2 bulkheads, mounting plate and all the hardware and extra U bolts. with the dual deployment way you have to pack the main into the NC so it think it will...

Neil, i am just finishing a 5.5" Nike smoke, i got the dual deployment version and added 4 MM tubes so its a 5 motor cluster, and so its a bit heaver, but i talked to Andy at Polecat and he said your dont need to use any glass over the fins , he has flown his also with no glass. I plan first...

I am building right now a Skunk Works 5.5" nike smoke with one 54mm and 4 29mmts , Andy will cut the rings for free(well he did on mine) but the extra tubes will cost more. the quailty is very good, but i dont like the fact the glass can be pulled of eazyly and that he uses cardboard tubes(i...

Update: i haven't taken many pics due to my camera needs fixing but ive almost finished it. I it just needs quick final sand and the launch lugs attached and then it will be off to the paint shop, I'm getting it painted professionally at a friends bike Restoration shop and some custom United...
