My son and I were looking at rockets on Designation-Systems and he really liked the Firebrand so I built one.
Here is the finished rocket - Bt-60 based, 27" long. The rear fin pods are made of Estes PNC-55 nose cones cut up and glued together.
Not sure how this will fly with the fin config more like an airplane than a rocket but we'll see as soon as weather gives us a chance to launch.
I looked all over the web for info on a color scheme since the only photo I could find was BW. No luck so we decided to paint it orange because we don't have an orange rocket yet. How's that for 'scale' research?
