Show thread of my Composite Warehouse Lotus 3. First off, really nice kit, I am very impressed with Composite Warehouse quality. and who could resist a rocket where the nose cone is literally longer than the body tube. True full fiberglass kit Clean colored fiberglass parts and pre-slotted body...

Staying at home leads to builds. Not really a build thread, more of a sharing of some of the things that happen due to all the extra time at home :) . Here are a few builds I have been working on lately - all are in paint stage now. Hope you enjoy this hodgepodge of crazy: Up first: Foam...

I have not done a build thread in a while so I thought I would try something a little different. Its probably been done before but I am enjoying the project :) 3" 24mm low power rocket made from as little cardboard as possible. Here is goes First is the airframe start with this Use this to...

Ok - so maybe I bought 3 of the Rocketarium 2.6 nose cones. This go will be a stumpy 3 tube - tube fin design plans Fin alignment guide (a compass is your friend) Mock up Tube fin Fillet /strengtheners This one should net about 300ft on a D12 and well over 1000ft on a F39 :)

Rocketarium has some of the best nose cones around. a 2.6" X 13" cone - so cool So cool I needed 2 so I could make a super sleek rocket with boat tail centered around 24mm F39 reloads. Sims out around 1000ft on the F39. 3 super swept 1.5mm G10 fins 2.5 LOC body tube Rail buttons Rocketarium...

Had some parts laying around, Weather has been crummy, well you know the rest. 13mm min diameter, tumble recovery here is the progress so far little painting and the Needle is ready to go

So my wife got me my first fiberglass kit for Christmas (yes, she is awesome)- a Madcow Twitch. fantastic 3" kit, Mine came with a black nose cone, Black G10 fins and a Green body tube - way cooler than the stock photo on the Madcow website. Not sure if all kits come with colored body tubes now...

So, I wanted to try to build a Magg that would comply with level zero regulations. 1500G or less total weight 125g or less of propellant Average thrust per motor less than 80N Total thrust less than 320N The plan is a twin 29mm Magg sporting 2 G53FJs. G53 has 60 grams of propellant and 53N of...

Just reaching here but, I have 1/4" through the wall fins for the Minie Magg kit I just bought. I really need the 1/4" locking style fins the Minie came with just before they switched over to the through the wall type. Reaching out to see if there is anyone who may have a slightly older unbuilt...

Please forgive me if this has been asked before but I am having trouble finding specific clarity: As I am not level one certified just yet here is my Q. I have Aerotech 20/40-120 RMS cases, if I were to build a twin 29mm setup, say in a Minie Magg, could I fly 2 G53FJs and still be ok without...

I don't really know what to do here. It seems that after 30 years of launches the City of Lakewood can just shut the only local launch club down. https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/contact7/lakewood-rocketry-club-to-ground-all-future-flights-out-of-bear-creek-lake-park Just individuals...

So, My 6 year old Nephew is literally obsessed with Rubik's cubes. He has 30+ varieties in his collection and at 6 years old can tell / show you how to solve 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 cubes as well as Pyramids and various other odd cubes. His 7x7 ans 9x9 cubes are a bit out of his grasp just yet but...

Had this idea for a while: Body consists of 2 BT-80 cones 18mm mount good bit of nose weight good bit of base drag :) Looks to SIM out pretty good Hope you like it

Not really a build thread, but I wanted to share my latest. I am not done yet but you can see where I am going with this one. Estes V2 kit, 5" cut out of the body tube. Custom cut on the fins (papered with 100wt card stock for strength). Boat tail blended into body tube for clean lines. B-5...

I had some 4" tube leftover so I decided to put together a 29mm 4"er for some low and slow flying. Cutting some fin slots in the boat tail (and drilling a baffle disc) 1/8" papered plywood fin design Boat tail work Aligning the 4 fins with "teardrop" bulbs at the tips Coming together

Current work in progress, for some reason I felt the 3 side pods needed 13mm booster engines. Hmm, what to do with the 13mm deploy charge gasses, how about rout them through the fins into the body tube and down out the boat tail, yeah, that should work. This way they can deploy and not effect...

Couldn't help myself: added Boat tail extended fins to encompass the tail 18mm up-sized the motor tube this little guy should really go

So I got my father an Estes Screaming Eagle kit, thought to myself, this would be cool but just a little bigger, and maybe 2 - 18mm engines. Thus began another scratch build. Started off with calipers and some BT-55 tube Water bottle engine retainers and the struggle to figure out the nose...

straight forward build Bt60 24mm booster 18mm booster 18mm sustainer should go up a ways :)

I am just starting this one so this thread will go a little slower. An Estes Xarconian Cruiser Scratch built 24mm booster stage Extended length - because I had the tube and couplers Baffle Custom other bits - like additional simulated boosters, hidden launch lugs, extra fins Papered fins and...
