Darkstar Carbon Fiber Micro

[kenstarr]

Almost finished with my carbon fiber downscale Wildman Darkstar. Body is a carbon fiber sleeve from soller composites. I used a .25" stainless steel tube and some parchment paper for a mandrel. Fins are some carbon fiber "plate" I made some years ago. Two layers maybe? Today I went to hobby lobby and got some polystyrene tubes to make a cradle for it. Still need to do a streamer and lug for the rocket.

Love it!

Looks real cool. The cradle is a great touch. How long is the rocket and how much does it weigh?

Want to drag race? Mine’s not carbon fiber, but it would still be fun.

Very nice. What did you use for a nose cone?

2.3 grams without streamer, motor, and rail buttons. Tip to tail is about 16.9 cm. Nose cone was from a pack purchased from Rocketship Games. There's something really satisfying about building in miniature!
