SOLD.

Last chance.....or it WLL be desroyed!!!

I baught it a long time ago so not exactly sure if it is a Kosdon. I drilled the throat small because I used PSAN with it. Graphite by the way.

54mm Kosdon ? motor, slightly used only once, with rings, seals, nozzle drilled to 5/16" and forward closure. Casing is 16" long. $100 plus shipping.

That must have been a great experiance. If I wanted to see something along the way while traveling on vacation I was always told No, we do'nt have time, or just get ignorred.

And now for the BIg "DUHhhhhh" moment of the day........who is it? I admit my ignorance, I am from another world. Ich bin stupid.

Why are the gantrys painted gray? They used to be red, it looked alot better. Gray paint is cheaper?

Go job, I like it!!! If there is a plan to put four SRB"s on the real one, I bet a model with four SRB's would fly without fins, especialy if the rocket where lengthened a little. I've done it lots of times.

Any of them, take your pick, just don't use ear wax or facial oil.

I would say that the rockets they made in Coalwood where actual real rockets rather than just a motor in the bottom of a paper tube. They where more like motors with fins and a nocecone. I have an old newspaper article from about that time showing a couple of local guys out on a frozen lake...

I watched October sky the other night and the special features. The comentary by Homer Hickam said they used Zinc/Sulfer propellant and alcohol as a binder. The film footage of the original launches showes them to burn for quite a while, zinc/sulfer also known as micro grain, burns very fast. I...

The Estes 2.6" dia V-2 I built 30 years ago still has life in it, as long as there is a motor to put in it. It is the one that turned me into a BAR. On the first flight the chute got wrapped up in the lines and had a hard landing and cracked two fins. I flew it two more times anyway, it's fixable.

Well, I took it out last evening and got three real good flights out of it, flies like a champ. Also took my Estes V-2, the one thats 2.6" dia. and burned up three C6 motors in it. That rocket is about 30 years old and responsible for making me a BAR.

Experimental.

It flew well but the delay was too long and became a lawn dart. The transition shroud was the only thing damaged, it was repaired the next day and is ready to go again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bRFmGhjH4U&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bRFmGhjH4U&feature=youtu.be

Thank you. The tower is made from wood dowels, Masonite and hardware cloth and various other pieces of wood and wire. If the weather is good tomorrow I plan to fly it. Interesting note, as I sit here in the local airport terminal, there is a nice big old DC-3 Goony bird sitting outside the...

It's a flyer.

This is the one I made this past two weeks. Inspired by the 1960's NASA rockets.

There must be some kind of cosmic timing thing going on here, I just finnished a very similar scratch built model on the same lines, and same idea of an early 60,s retro look. That is so wierd. I know, right? Pictures to be posted soon.

Anybody know what if anything is going on with it? I know it is a shoestring budget film and the guy has other professional commitments, I just hope he does'nt lose interest and give up.
