The Apogee product page for this kit is worth a read. Quite interesting and entertaining. My favorite bit:
The instructions recommend a magnifying glass to help you position all the small pieces. If you don't have bad eyesight prior to building this kit, you'll probably have it afterward.
I think Tim had fun writing this one.
Waiting for a proper build thread on one of these.
Wow! I was wondering if anyone has built and flown this kit.
One available on sellers eBay site for $117.
This was my thinking after I read through the build thread. It just looked too rough a kit parts wise to spend that much money on and the design doesn't do that much for me.I looked at that kit a few times, and $117 is as low of a price as it goes.
Alas, I could never motivate myself to pull the trigger on this kit ....... at any price.
It's just too rough, too fragile, will require too much time to put together. All that for an aesthetically not pleasing rocket, that was a total historical engineering failure.
I guess I am not THAT much of a masochist.
Yet.
Anybody tell us what motors this thing is recommended to fly with?
Maybe 30x Estes A-10-3t motors?
Just wondering
Yes, six D12-3's. I did the build thread (started by Nytunner). I have launched it twice on six D12-3's using e-matches. Every motor fired.It's designed for D12's. I wouldn't put E12's in it even if that was an option given how much work the thing is. The six inboard engines on the first stage were made into the motor mounts.
Slight exaggeration, but I get what you mean .If you got 6 out of 6 motors to burn, you're doing better than the original ever did.
And is it designed for six in a star of David pattern...all six in the same circle? Or some other pattern?
