Ok, so maybe Ive inhaled too much AP smoke, or hangin with Carl has finally gotten to me, but here it is, the 'public' announcement of my upscaled A.C.M.E. Spitfire.
Yup, thats right, ive upscaled the spitfire, by about 2.5x. The BT dia is 5.375", Ox mailing tube, cone and shroud both glass, internal cr's 1/4 pine, anything thats gonna be exposed to the outside is birch, namely the fins and the rear 2 cr's. 54mm mount is the biggest single tube i could fit in to it, but i'm thinking or putting in 6 29mm tubes around it in the bottom section, for future airstarts. Not sure what its gonna fly on yet, nor what the paint scheme will be...
Thanx to Carl for support, Jim for the great rocket design!
ok, so i'll bet you guys want pictures, dont you?
here ya go!
