Greetings all!
I'm on vacation in Seattle, and today went to the space needle. What a fantastic view, from bottom and top. What an awesome story and history behind it!
Anyways, likely similar to many of you, as I gazed upon the epic structure I thought , "this would be really neat to launch!". What's more, how awesome would it be if the top part (the URL looking bit) became a second stage and flew like a saucer?
But I have so many builds on the pile to start as soon as i move in, I say. Well, the build off always looked neat, but my creativity juices simply were not flowing until today. What a great reason to both join the build off and build a hopefully unique and functional scratch build !
Whilst I don't have a sim file, one can view pictures online of Seattle's space needle to see what my build will look like somewhat.
Besides the top piece becoming a 2nd stage, any other thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated! I don't know what motor size I'll be using, but I do have bt5 and methinks bt55. Will start sizing up the plans on the flight back home
