What a great looking rocket. I think I really need to pick one up. Gotta clear some space in the build pile first.

cheers

Has anyone built and launched this kit yet? I have looking at the catalogs instructions trying to decide if it can be modified to have the boosters fall off in a 3 motor cluster.

I'm happy for now with my Dr. Zooch.

Wow is that pretty! Sure wish it could be 1:100, but it's available tube diameter restraints, I'm sure. Close to HO scale, though!

I like to demonstrate things for the grandkids. And stop & think of this- a 31.25" tall rocket in an HO train layout! Yow!

I wonder if they've fixed their thin wall printing issues. Had a few kits from them and every one of them broke on landing due to how thin their printed walls were. Beautiful kits but not the most reliable on durability. I had their 4" Redstone and their BT80 Pershing, both suffered from having very thin walls. A lot of money for something so easily broken.

Maybe. The BT-80 Redstone seems to have solid walls so perhaps they added more material.

Nice collection and flying location you got there!

It's still frickin hot in the morning. I'm waiting for the community pool to open up so we can jump in after launching rockets. The evening's are cooler but windy.
