Free Flight Rocketeer
This rocket was inspired by Larry Brand's E-Pod. That rocket is a sweet flying tube rocket made from the parts in the Estes Stormcaster kit. It flies I great on E30 power.
The See Yah Toober uses many of the parts found in the Estes Vagabond kit. The kit is BT60 based with a 24mm motor mount. I decided to make 29mm motor capable thus the name. The rocket is finished and ready to paint once it stops raining.
Here are the airframe parts:
I used the new Estes motor retainer. Very cool. As you can see the motor mount is nearly as long as the body tube. I will fly it with a 4"x 40" streamer which will be in the nose cone. That's why the bottom is cut off in the picture.
More to come!
