My Ventris is just about done so I have been giving some thought to what I am going to build next.
I've decided my next rocket will be a Nike X upscaled to a BT60 and built as a two-stage. The booster will be 7 inches long and capable of being powered by a 24mm "D" or "E" motors. The sustainer will be over 23 inches long and powered by 18mm "B" or "C" engines. Total length will be slightly over 30 inches.
I've been working on the OR file today and will finalize it this weekend. My biggest hang up is the fins: 1/8th inch basswood or papered balsa. Such decisions Oh, and I doubt it will be painted black and white
I went to Hobby Lobby today to buy one of the new HL exclusive Vapor kits for it's parts but they did not have one. Luckily they did have a High Flyer XL that was just the right size.
Anyway I think I will be ready to start building my kit on Tuesday. That shouldn't take long as I don't think I'll have to cut out too many pieces/parts. Most will come right from the High Flyer XL.
