It's his? He's going to sit in it?My buddy asked if I could take on a project for him. Jumped on that ASAP! He had a 16’ Church Pew and wanted it cut down to fit 2 big guys.. lol aka Bench for Dude Room...
So here are pics as it came to me during the redesign and pics as I’m sending it back to him!
This has been a fun project not rocket related.. Now it’s time to finish a Rocket as I’m jonesing to Launch!!!
Just seeing the picture makes me smile.Cleaned and checked some rockets from my last launch.
Fixed up a never launched experiment from some years back. If the wind isn't to strong after work I'll give it a try tomorrow.

Would a NAR launch allow that?
Sure didn't look like that 2hrs later!Way too neat.
Shellacking?The fins are the most beautiful C-grain balsa I‘ve ever seen. Look like there were match cut from the same sheet/block.
Dunno if I should.Shellacking?
I’d caution you about the sharpness of the legs on those sawhorses but I’m guessing you’ve already discovered that.Finally got some time to get out an fly again although conditions were not the best. Got about 10 flights in the books before I wrapped it up as it was just too windy.
The Red and Silver pic is a home design. Something reminiscent of Alien Space Probe meets Asteroid Explorer. Flew well on a B6-4 but really could have used a C6-5 but I wanted to keep things low due to winds.
The second is an old Custom Rockets Oasis. Picked it up as part of a collection a couple years back and wanted to fly it before complete restoration. It's designed as a 24mm rocket but I flew it on a B6-4. Perfect flight and perfect recovery if a bit of a long walk.
Flew a few other models as well but didn't get pics. There's always next time.
The Tiny Ptero is still available?Mrs asked what I wanted for the upcoming Bday. I told her three things, two combined were under $250. The third was about $4k.
She told me to order the lessor ones...
Placed order for PML Pterodactyl Jr, and a Tiny Ptero.
Well it is still showing on the website, plus Allison didn‘t tell me it was no longer available when I added the second nose cone.The Tiny Ptero is still available?
YEOW!!
Have seen that listing for years but assumed it was merely for historical purposes and/or replacement parts only.Well it is still showing on the website, plus Allison didn‘t tell me it was no longer available when I added the second nose cone.
