I was in Tucson recently and had some spare time so I ventured out to Rocketry Works. The door was locked and the sign said open by appointment. I saw movement inside and knocked on the door. Ken greeted me and let me in. Ken gave me the grand tour of Rocketry Works. A very impressive operation.
I couldn’t leave without a kit or two and I wanted to add a Rocketry Works kit to my fleet. The Toobish XL immediately drew my attention. I enjoy tube fin rockets and have them in every size from 13mm to a 3” LOC Cyclotron. Except I didn’t have a tube fin in BT-70.
The Toobish XL fills the void in my tube fin fleet. There is a lot of value in this $15.99 kit. The motor mount uses plywood centering rings. You get over 8 feet of Kevlar shock cord and a nylon parachute. The kit includes 3D printed motor retainer, motor adapter, conformal launch lugs, and nose cone. The tube fins are laser cut.
A tube fin rocket does not make for the most exciting build thread so I won’t include a step by step build in this tread. I will add some comments regarding the kit along the way.
