Did this not long after returning to the hobby so not my greatest piece of craftsmanship.kuririn, do you have any photo's of your mini mars lander clone?
I would love to see it!
The original's nose cone was plastic I believe, same one as the MX missile.
Not available any longer so I had Gordy turn a couple.
Plans and scans from JimZ's site.
And check out Chris Michielsson's blog archives for a museum quality build of this model.
I drilled and put in some nose weight in the cone, but it still did a couple of midair somersaults and ejected on the ground on its' maiden.
Very entertaining though.
