My daughter says I'm unimaginative because I frequently upscale other rockets I've built (6 various sizes of Goblin, 3 Der Red Max, 2 Big Daddy, etc...) so she wasn't at all impressed when I announced plans for my 4th Alpha, a 4" model. Given that the venerated original is a 12" BT-50 variety, it needs to grow 410%. That puts it at 50" per Rocksim - assuming that will be the nose to ground length, not the length of the nosecone and body tube. Either way, it will be a good deal taller than my 4" LOC Goblin and Mega Der Red Max clone, both of which come to about 40-41". Like those other two birds, this one will be a 54mm motor mount.
So off we go. I'm in the middle of helping my parents move so who knows how long this build will take...
