Jr. L1 build- name ideas?

[brentius]

Here's my (recently completed) Jr. L1 rocket, designed and built completely by myself. It'd be great if yall could help me name it, and please do give me ideas for its colour scheme!

I call foul! You are attempting to outsource the most difficult part of building a rocket (name and paint scheme). Cert flights should require documentation that the flyer came up with their own name.

(I mean, you could always call it "Name me", or "Name Goes Here". I've seen worse.)

Allright. I have a list of names saved in Libreoffice.
I will give you two. If you use one I will remove it from my list.

R/S for Rocket Ship
R/S Nina Faye
R/S Skylark III from E.E. Doc Smith Skylark of Space series.
Citizen Of The Galaxy by Robert Heinlein has lots of ship names you might like, but you are required to read it for yourself.

Colors go with the name.
I.E. Nina Faye would be a light blue, or turquoise.

Skylark III would be dark metallic Grey or Charcoal or metallic black.

I named my L1 cert rocket after I was done painting it.... 'the flaming orange peel of death'

i named it this cause the paint started to do the dreaded 'orange peel' after I applied the clear coat

I have no idea why, but the name Brutus came to mind, even before I looked at the picture. Maybe because I prefer LPR*. Your rocket looks good, assuming the fins will get fillets before flight.

*My taste might be a bit different if we had more wide open spaces.

Well, hmm ...

You could do what I do ...

Prime the rocket with Kilz ( white primer ) and fly her in her "Kilz Undies" until you recover her successfully a paint scheme comes to mind.

As for a name, that's all on you !

I might need to rename my L1! As for color scheme I was told about something called gulf livery, it’s simple but pretty. Even I can pull it off!

 

[bad_idea]

the most difficult part of building a rocket (name and paint scheme).

When I paint, I generally use variations of the same livery, but regarding the name, you aren't kidding.

Nice rocket! I like to name my rockets after mountains or natural features. If you have had any special memories hiking a mountain or something, you could name it after that. One of my first rockets was named after the tallest mountain in Colorado: Elbert. My L3 was named after a canyon I spend a lot time in: Eldorado. I've found mountains often have cool names that are very fitting for a rocket

Since it's a junior L1, I'd say either "Rabbit Hole" or "Slippery Slope." Of course, "College Fund" also works.

Color schemes? You're not getting off that easy. Hardest part of any build...

The four trapezoidal fins invoke the Nike family of sounding rockets and the NC is an ogive shape. Hence Nike-Ogive.

Here’s one that I can’t take credit for, but I like all the same:

The most underrated attack jet of the Vietnam era was the Cessna A-37, based on the T-37 trainer. For its uncanny ability to convert jet fuel directly into noise and not much else, like airspeed for example, it earned the nickname “The Converter”.

If you’re planning on flying a White Lightning motor or something similarly throaty, that might be apt.

You should actually put one of those "My name is" name tags on it.
