[corpse]

just started my 2nd bull pup.
setting it up for a 24mm motor
Cs and Ds.
added a little more clay to the nose.
c/g in the same place as on the 1st one. (18mm)
is there something more i need to do for
the bigger motor ?

all it needs is a little paint and decals

Looking Good Corpse.

Question , on my Kit build I noticed that my fins are placed higher from the tailcone compared to yours. Im pretty sure Ive placed my fins correctly, is there a reason why youve moved yours aft ?

the fins on the 24 mm motor bull-pup are in the same place as on my 18 mm motor one .
the 24 mm is cut down same (tail cone , my look smaller )
i put both at the end of the body tube.
the fish tail ( think that what they call it ) has been cut down
to fit the 24 mm motor

will add pic of 18mm and 24mm in morning (after work)
need to get batt. for cam.

We went out with it today, it rocked! It was way up there but got stuck in a big tree. Other than this one in the tree we came home with everything else, some of them a little wounded but all should fly again.

Yep corpse:
I've always like the way my old Estes bullpup flies so much I decided to try a true scale Micro-Bullpup-b. here the unfinsihed,primed pic in my micro-tower. hope to have it finished for more flights this weekend
Side note: did you folks know the bull pups boattail is not a circular cone, but more of a tapered semi-pointed oval? another interesting boat-tail fact, it steps in for the body diameter.

post a pic after you paint it

I'm thinking about a scratchbuilt bullpup (2.6 BT) and was thinking of ways to do the boat-tail. I'm thinking I can cut down an Estes PNC 80 NC, which should work out well.
Attached a pic of Peter Alway's that describes the boat-tail that Micro is talking about.

very nice, I put a D in mine and it ripped, it also got stuck in a tree but I got it down and flew it agian, the second time it went miles away. great rocket

 

[corpse]

sat down this weekend and made a bull pup look alike.
its about 2 inch shorter and has no boat tail.
got it set up on a 18 mm motor.
hope to get it painted this week.
and fly as soon as the park drys out.

Why did you leave off the upper (canard) fins? It's not a bull pup without those fins! Nice rocket though! Hope you get it back!
