There’s an asymmetric fin rocket that’s really creative! Something tells the ROCKET rifles (corkscrews) instead of the Bullet, but I’d expect a net straight trajectory.

love to see the flight video, especially with a Q-Jet smoky motor,

Load it fer bear! Flight video? Does the barrel fin and sights offset the grip drag consistently enough for a newbie builder?

Okay, another one for @lakeroadster (not that he’s hurting for ideas). The A-10 gun

I wonder if that falls under the umbrella of the orange muzzle tip law for toy guns.

Thanks! Yes it does corkscrew for stability. I have flown upscales with the same results. 1.6" diameter and we even made a 4" diameter one for LDRS 41 that flew on a K456 DM. Unfortunately the chute didn't deploy on it.

I rated it as a skill level 3 because of that. It's not too terrible of a build though.

That is a good point. I will get legal advice to be sure of that today. I am seeing some cases where it has to be applied for sale but can be painted over.

You know, listening to the background vocals, I was thinking rockets, guns, and alcohol don’t mix…….

Then I speeded it up!

I got a call back from our attorney that helped us kick off the business. He advises the orange tip. We also spoke with a police officer and found out the law varies in different states. Because I'm not sure which states allow it and which don't it's best to make them all orange.

Fortunately with 3d printing, orange is easy!
