Short fat rockets

[hobie1dog]

Are there differences beyond the tailcone? Same fin profile?

just the tailcone. When I first went to their website and saw the two rockets I was torn between which one I like the best but the more I've looked at them the more I really like just the short fat one.

Cool, then everything is there.

Also, on the Rocket Reviews page that @T-Rex linked, look at the Parts Breakdown. Clicking on the parts takes you to a page with more details on that part. NC image isn't correct, but the dimensions are.

I have built only one stubby. It is a 19" long 4" nose cone from Apogee and about 10 inches of 4" BT. 29mm mmt, rear eject. It's supposed to be a 50's SciFi rocket. I call it R22.View attachment 507413

I really need to finish mine. Did you set it up for HED?

Yes, it worked out well. It is really the easiest way to set it up.

I was thinking about motor ejection and chute release. But I do have altimeters…

By L/D scale , this would be my short fat rocket. It does have some corn rash.

Forgot about this one.
Quest MLAS launched recently on a C5-3.

This one's gonna be fun. Needs a bit more chute. Ukrainken (can't think of a better name). BT-80 body. Estes PSII 2.5" tube fins. Kind of a Goony Kraken. First flight today on a C11-3. Definitely needs more motor.

I like the rocket, but not the name. Nothing against the theme or support, but not as creative as it should be for such a cool rocket. So, I tried to think of a better name and didn't come up with one. I'll keep thinking and hope you do too. Closest I got was a conglomeration of Goonie and Kraken, the Goo-U-Kraken, but that's not very good, not too obvious and if you have a dirty mind. . . eeeew.

Sweet rocket!!!!

Sandy.

There's also a picture of him holding this rocket after it crashed into the lake bed.

That is an Aries is it not?

 

[3stoogesrocketry]

That is an Aries is it not?

Yes it is. 25 percent scale. 40 pounds with a 75 k780. 1650 feet main at the top on this flight. There is a core 7.5 inch motor tube so clusters flights are possible . Next Flight is on 4 54mm motors .

Nice. I grew up on apfelkuchen.

 

[bibbster]

Short and fat? I think so, but definitely furry! The one on the left is an Estes Vapor, the short fat one is a 4"x9" mailing tube.

Laurel and Hardy, Jake and Elwood ...who knows.

My current scratch build qualifies as "Short-Fat". It's a model of the rocket on the Estes Logo. Super simple rear eject design.

Might I suggest....
