I thought I'd start a thread to track (oh ok ask advice!) my latest project.
Having flown a clone of the original Estes Orbital Transport I'd like to build an upscale. I can't decide what scale would be best, either BT-60 or BT-70.
If I went with BT-60, it could *probably* fly on an Estes D or cluster of 3 x Cs. I'd have to see about the final weight.
The other option is BT-70 which results a model quite a bit larger. This would *probably* be able to go on 2 x D12 but I'm not sure, what do you guys think?
Both of those options wouldn't get much height but thats not really what I'm looking for. I feel a bit daunted by the BT-70 as it would be a pretty large model.
I'm thinking of using 1/8" Liteply for the fins and they'd have to go TTW to be strong enough. Sound about right?
Thanks
