Show off your Goonies/ Odd Rocks

[wadavidson]

I know this type of post has probably been done in recent history but thought I would start a new one.

I have been really been into Estes up scales/ goonies/ odd rocks/ unique stuff, whatever you want to call them. And thought I would put them in one post to share and that everyone could post theirs as well.

May create new ideas or new projects.

Now, if I posted my oddrocs, it would just be embarrassing. To me, not you. I remember your article about your 3 certs in one day. Man does time fly.

This my Gooniot (Patriot Goony). 3" body tube, and I turned the nose cone.

1st up, the oddest rocket I ever built. I call it UFTYES / yooft' yes. The 2nd is Arapagoony. A goony version of the Arapahoe E. Looked cute. Flew like crap. Trashed it on the maiden flight. Sorry, no video on that one.

Similar concept to the "Now for Something Completely Different" in one of the old EMRR contests. The builder even developed the equations of how to represent them in a Barrowman calc. Pretty cool.

Probably my strangest is my "That's Nuts"




Not sure if you would consider this as an odd roc, but I am also rather pleased with my "Eye Catching" rocket

 

[qquake2k]

It certainly caught my eye!

I have another one I call Tikk Takk. It's the one on the left. Imagine a giant carpet/brass tack turned pointy side up. The ring poses as the head. Don't step on it...:cyclops:

Does the head pop off at ejection?

Does the head pop off at ejection?

It was supposed to. Unfortunately some grease extruded through the touch hole into the charge well and there was no deployment.

So I guess it came in head first?

Ouch... [emoji12]
