I know, I know... its a whacky idea... and believe me... it only came about by chance... now I am too far down the hole to look back!
I was going through my usual spaces online... soon I found myself looking over LEGO concepts and then it happened...I came across the good ol' GARC idea (Basically... imagine a sci-fi formular1 rocket powered racer... you will soon get the idea...)... I found myself smile and a voice in my head say "now one of THOSE would make a cool rocket!!"
Well... first it was a sketch... then it became an Open Rocket project... and now...well... Ive begun shaping the balsa canopy and front body tube.
Yep... I get it... there is a high chance this is too experimental...
But wanted to throw it out in the forum to see if anyone has tried anything similar??
...or is it just a little too crazy??
...or does it break one too many golden rules??
Essentially, the motor would be mounted "tractor" style in the nose... the canopy is stiff balsa, shaped to give some style... the rear body tube is just to ensure the fins are aligned and centred to the engine...
