"There Once Was a Rocket From Nantucket"
One of tougest rockets I have ever flown. It takes a beating and keeps on flying. And although it is tiny and easy to lose, I always find it!I remember it but never bought one. Great trip down memory lane.
looks like he hasn't been on here since Oct 2020, but I wanted the exact dimensions of the fins and length of the body tube. Anyone else have one of these?Almost doesn't fit given the ultra tailcone, but it is classic Public Missiles and it is my favorite.

I hope Tim is okay, surprised he hasn't been on for that long. Anybody know Tim Dixon aka SpeaknoEvil?looks like he hasn't been on here since Oct 2020, but I wanted the exact dimensions of the fins and length of the body tube. Anyone else have one of these?
That's .How about a 7.5" diameter Gooney Hellfire with a central 54mm and 4, 38mm outboards for inspiration? It's for sale, $100.

Speaknoevil likely quit the forum and I see no way to send him a PM as I still wanted the fin dimensions, nose cone length, and overall length.Almost doesn't fit given the ultra tailcone, but it is classic Public Missiles and it is my favorite.

I think I'll do a Der Fin Max, nice & stubby.Having read through this topic again, I think my New Year's project is going to be a Big Red Max bashed with Blobbo fins (plywood). Big Red Blobbo? 24mm motor or 29mm motor? I've got a 24/60 case which would let me use an F63. In a 29mm hole, I could put a 29/180. (and down-load with a RAS). (Yeah, I know it comes stock w/a 29mm) Has anyone done a sim of this rocket yet?
Those kits are from Public Enemy, not Public Missileslooks like he hasn't been on here since Oct 2020, but I wanted the exact dimensions of the fins and length of the body tube. Anyone else have one of these?

They are all Public Enemy Fat Boy rockets taken from their website years ago. I wish I had one but the only way I'm going to get one is to make one myself. When I contacted Dave about coming back out with them, he said there wasn't enough money in them, and time was too tight for him to get back into bringing the fat boy rockets back outIsn’t one of those rockets, the one in the back right side of your avatar, a Public Missiles rocket?
Second question, is that a picture of rockets you possess? If you possess them, I am super jealous. I have two built Public Enemy kits, the 4” V2 and the 3”/4.5” Honest John. Actually, I also have a second built Public Enemy 4” V2.

Well there was a fair amount of information with what looked like a simulation program drawing over to the side on the ultra fat boy, but on the standard size fat boy there was only some launch reports and a small write-up about how sparse the kit was, but there were no dimensions at all. But anyway that was good to find,@hobie1dog google can be your friend https://www.rocketreviews.com/public-enemy-ultra-fatboy-2359.html

Never looked at it.. Guess I should. Is there a library of rockets in a database?Do you use Open Rocket?

The standard one was the one I was more interested in.Ultra Fat Boy only, I didn't see the other in a .rkt file.
