New Rocket Ideas??

[KT Chuteless]

I just got done building a scramin mimi. I want a new rocket but i would like to get a clustered one, or staged one.. My Question is... what is a good rocket to buy that comes with a cluster or stages?

I'll say it before anyone else...

The Deuce's Wild! (do a search for that here in the forum, then plan to spend a couple of days reading )

You can find out more about the kit here: https://fliskits.com/products/rocketkits/kit_detail/deuce.htm

and gobs of pictures of it (and many others) in our photo albums here: https://fliskits.com/photo_album/photo_albums.htm

And let's not forget about the Tour de Deuce here: https://fliskits.com/tour_de_deuce/index.htm

yer gonna love it!

One of the coolest cluster rockets you'll find is the Deuce's Wild by Fliskits.

Thrustline Aerospace has several cluster kits...
The A-Slam https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2567&item=5924861732&tc=photo

The "Smoke-n-Fire" kit looks pretty neat. As does the "Double Up" if you want a staged rocket..but my favorite is the "Mike IX"

The Deuce's Wild is definitely cool - very unconventional and a fun build! Jim Flis has me hooked - saving my pennies for a Tres.

I also enjoyed building the Semroc Goliath, a good beginner 3-engine cluster.

LOL!...it would have been really easy to cluster the Screamin' Mimi!

All you would have had to do is install 3 18mm motor tubes instead of the regular motor mount!

estes mongoose is a really good entry 2 stager. i would advise against a commanchee 3 unless you have an extremely large field and no wind and high visibility. i've lost two of them. its a cool looking rocket, but man, that puppy goes and goes.
for clusters, the absolute best 2 engine cluster i've ever seen is the deuces wild. that thing flies so nice. the smoke trail is sweet too. two seperate lines going up. its a really nice rocket.

for a cluster rocket I would only get that one that is sold by whats his name but it has two very distinct smoke trails and is a realy cool flier I think its called the dueces wild. now for a two stage rocket I can only think of the cheetah that fliskits sells as it is a very good flier and even if the booster piece stays on (motor ejected) it went real well the smoke trail was black instead of white but other wise I thought I had lost the booster aand was surprised when it was still attached to the rocket burnt to a crisp but still attached. It has been rebuilt and awaits paint. seriosly go to fliskits.com and enjoy your purchase.

Seriously though, we *do* make good kits. Some of the best on the market, and don't get me started on customer service (these guys know) Buy from us and we'll take care of ya.

You will not find a better cluster bird out there than the Deuce's Wild!

And for multistage, the Cheetah is a very cool kit.

The FlisKits Dueces Wild is an excellent choice for a first cluster build. I love watching this design fly. FlisKits has a real show-stopping namesake in this design!

The FlisKits Cheetah is an excellent choice for a first two stage build, it uses standard motors and is a typical two stage design.

He took the bait.

He won't get away.

While the Duece's Wild is an excellent choice, I liked Fliskits Richter Recker 'cause it taught me how to cluster my Estes Fat Boy. And it flies really good. Looks impressive too, over 8' tall. My 2 cents.

 

[rocketdad0934]

okay I forgot the richter reckter in my previous post excellent cluster rocket and like kelltym88 stated it spawned my cluster fatboy. hey Jim don't jerk the line to hard till it is set or it'll break but yes I can't wait to hear what rocket is purchased and the results of the buildwith fllight reports
