But these are not considered "Scale" the are PMC's Plastic Model Conversions. Not sure, but I believe this thread should be moved.
Thanks for the info. Do y'all think a single composite 24mm such as an E18 or F24 would work well on this rocket? Jon stated that his weighed in at about 14oz - which seems about right for these motors. I know everybody likes to fly these with clusters, but I would like to mount the four exterior F-1's and put the actual motor mount in the center. I'm also worried about melting the four F-1's???
It is true that if we were talking what is legal for an NAR Contest “scale” event, a converted Plastic Model is not legal for that.But these are not considered "Scale" the are PMC's Plastic Model Conversions. Not sure, but I believe this thread should be moved.

But, for non-contest purposes, this thread seems to fit in scale better than anywhere else on TRF. Since there is no Plastic Model forum. Sure better here than Mid-Power, or Watering Hole, and so forth.
Now, had there been an Oddrocs forum created to cover a WIDE range of unusual models beyond just Goonies (like holiday-themed rockets, flying Lighthouses, converted birdhouses, etc.), then maybe converted Plastic models might have had a place to go, there. Though Scale Plastic Models (of rocket vehicles) would always seem to fit more in Scale than anyplace else.
Edit - OK, I forgot about "scratch built". Then again, converting a non-flying scale model is not exactly "scratch" either, so Scale also would seem to be suitable.

I for one would like to see a PMC forum. Is there a good reason why we can't have one?
