11.11.11

On facebook, Ryan suggested I post this one today!
If you've seen it before, my apologies.
If not, it was kind of funny planning and building it.


This was my entry for the 2009 Elevate 11 contest sponsored by EMRR. The contest was for the eleventh anniversary of EMRR and a tribute to the Apollo 11 flight. I had to come up with some way to elaborate on the number 11.

I figured some entrants would fly 11 rockets, another might fly 11 payloads. This contest called for the extreme.
Check out the entry HERE
This entry wasn't planned in one afternoon. I let things sit and the 33 different Elevate 11 ideas grew over a few days time.
Sure it was silly, but a great creative exercise.
Wanting to go that extra step, an exploded drawing and fin templates were drawn up. One of the assembly drawings is HERE
You have to go beyond the obvious, and take it to the next level.
