Hey Guy's,
I'm looking to build an easy to transport 12" diameter, light, low and loud flyer. I tossed around the idea of removable fins to make it more portable but the "light" concept wasn't working. A good candidate to upscale is Bullet Bobby which at 12" diameter would only be 32" tall. So I'm going to wing it and post the build. All suggestions appreciated.
First, I picked up a 12" Styrofoam half circle and then headed to Home Depot for a matching Sonotube. A few layers of glass and a lot of primer and sanding and it's looking like a Bullet Bobby nosecone.
I had an extra piece of PML 11.4" body tube and it made a perfect shoulder. So far so good.
