Love the Screaming Green Meany graphic!

Keep the speed below Mach 1 and the paper will not burn up.I had mixed feelings about putting it on, as it's a paper sticker, but it is too cool not to.

Thanks, at least I didn't go to launch it before adding the rail buttons- I hate when that happens...Nice job love the look of the rocket
Colors are great

Will likely go D12-5 for first flight then maybe go to some composite E'svery true lol but shes ready now !!
what’s the motor choice your picking for this rocket ?

These two pictures seem to disagree on the color. The second (and all the rest I've seen) has a teal or maybe sea green color, while the other looks like more of a lime green. Which is closer to the in person reality?
The close up color is off- that tape is 3M blue painter's tape, the other photos are the reality. Rusto Spring Green...These two pictures seem to disagree on the color.

Second, you could probably build up the inside of the coupler some to make up for the thickness you took off the outside. There are a couple of ways to go about it.
There's a way of making a coupler from a piece of tube by cutting a little stripe out of the wall lengthwise then pushing it closed , now a little smaller. You could do that to make a "coupler doubler" to glue inside.
For heat resistance, if that's your main concern, foil tape is popular.
You’re gonna need erockets’ recovery tool (aka shovel) if that lawn darts.Took delivery of 4 beautiful custom cut canvas phenolic fins from MAC Performance Rocketry for my current project. I imagine most North American fliers are familiar with the quality of Mike's work, but these could well be the first MAC products to reach these shores. Very pleased with them.

The project is a longer booster for the rocket in my avatar, capable of accommodating a 54mm L motor:

I also watched a number of Apogee construction videos. Relaxing and informative.
This is a nice Collection. I see the Wac Corporal at the bottom. We are waiting for our Launch Rod.Today I ordered a Mercury Redstone, a Gryphon, and some engines because I have run out of rockets to build.
For a good part of the corona virus season ( since March, (maybe?), time warp is part of the current era)... I bought 2 Estes designers specials because AC supply has free shipping on over $100. Here is a picture of all the rockets I built with the 2 designer specials. The box says you can build up to 8 rockets (16 for 2 boxes). I built 19 or 20; I tend to lose count. Some were inspired by estes or centuri kits past and present. I found Jim Z and the Michielssen rocket building blog to be extremely helpful. Some are missing NCs because there were not enough to go around. No problem there, I just switch them as I see fit. I have 2 and 3 stagers, 2 and 3 engine clusters, and 1- 2 stage with 3 engine clusters on both stages. All fins had a pattern traced on balsa and hand cut. No laser cut here. There is one that I am still painting and I plan on applying a few more decals. Other than that, they are done. View attachment 426437
It is a Beauty. Made by ASP? I have the 18mm with Tiny Tim booster. Nice work you did.
