My son and I finally made it to a club launch this winter. We had some great flights, and some not-so-great ones. But we came back energized to start some new projects (aside from my Mega-Snooper which is nearly done).
He's working on a 2x24mm fairly large rocket with some transitions and a clear payload. I'm working on a 29mm F-bomb made from one of those cool tubes that you get when ordering large prints from the Winkflash photo website.
First, we'll take a look at his project. Many of the parts are in the photo: a standard tube (BT60 I think), an old nose cone, 4 fins cut from the wings of "Flying Banana" (our huge Edmonds glider), a longer Winkflash tube, and a clear payload segment (I think from a Fliskits kit). There are two transitions (one shown). One we sanded down from a solid balsa bulkhead. The other (not shown) is another old nose cone where I took the pointy end and sanded it down to make an appropriate shoulder.
He made the motor mount from a variety of remants and spares; it is off drying somewhere. I'll mention a funny part of MMT construction when his next photos arrive.

PS. I've been gone for a while...what happened to my first thousand posts?
