GREAT SCOTT IT’S WORLD DEBUT TIME: Doc Brown’s FLYING TIME MACHINE v121.G (Apogee Components, Inc Flying Machine) 3 Cluster Rocket! It’s been a fun and challenging build with many added extras like a 1.21 Gigawatt Flux Capacitor, thruster exhaust covers, 4 additional Back to the Future Delorean style aft thrusters, 4 custom bent 1/8” red and blue time circuit conduits, communication wire/towers together with Doc and Clara along with their sons Jules and Verne can be seen peering through the portholes as they prepare to blast off into the future or perhaps into the past! It utilizes a 24mm D or E main motor and two 18mm A, B or C motors in the fly away (w/streamers) boosters. The main Parachute is 32”. My inspiration for this project was the time traveling, steam powered “Jules Verne” Train Time Machine which Doc Brown built in 1885 in “Back To The Future III”. With this new flying Time Machine Doc and his family are no longer earthbound! I want to thank my dear Bride Lorrena for outdoing herself with all the vinyl graphics including Doc’s entire family peering out the portholes! I hope everyone enjoys the video and pictures! Oh and don’t forget to Doubleback Again!
