Hey Guy's,
I'm looking to scratch build a 12" diameter stubby rocket with detachable fins for easy transport and have a fun low flyer that fits in the car. No speed demon, just White Lightning J's & K's for some low and loud flights in the 1500 to 2000 feet range.
If I upscale a rocket like Bullet Bobby to 12 inches I end up with a 12" diameter x 31" long rocket that fits the bill but has a very wide fin footprint. I was thinking about an aluminum channel to bolt the fins to.
Maybe do a Minion theme.
Has anyone had success with a low flying large diameter rocket with removable fins?
Thanks in advance,
Phil
