New Way Steamliner

[kuririn]

I just noticed this today while browsing at erockets. Don't know how long it's been out.
Steampunk motif and funky fins.

Get 'em while they're hot.

That's pretty cool..........

I think that's from his most recent batch of releases. I believe it is also somewhat larger than his typical... but right now I can't find any specs. The Newway website is far out of date, and the eRockets page doesn't have any detailed kit info.

Even among a unique product line, the Streamliner stands out. Awaiting the first build thread.

Base drag to the max!

Wonder how well those fins will handle landings? That might have been a good design for rear eject.

 

[Rktman]

Agreed, those fins are awesome. The overall Steampunk theme is really done well too.

I just seen this line of rockets today. They had a skyscraper rocket that looked real fun. Their rockets seem pretty well priced too. That steampunk rocket would turn some heads at a launch.

Like it! Not really a fan of the square tube thing, but that one is awesome.

Talk about a high-drag design! "Estimated altitude, C6-3 - Just off the rod."

AND it also slices hard boiled eggs!

Yes, but the steam powered engines will compensate for the drag, obviously.

I heard steam powered engines will launch a rocket high enough to not see the curvature of the earth.

Has no one actually ordered one of these yet?

Mine should be in the box that arrived today...
