Estes has their Fletcher, Skinny Mini, Mean Machine and Mini Mean machine.
The problem with the Skinny Mini and Mini Mean Machine is the thin wall BT-20 tubing. it is prone to buckling.
This one will be made with the new (uh, oh - plug coming) Odd'l Rockets heavy wall BT-20 tubes.
Not much to this one. It's simply a long, minimum diameter model. The parachute isn't shown, it'll be a 12" Odd'l chute.
Parts of interest:
Odd'l Rockets heavy walled BT-20H
BT-20 sized brown coupler
Apogee plastic nose cone.
The Apogee nose cones have a wide shoulder and fit the new thicker wall tube very well.
BT-20H tubes are available only from jonrocket.com!
So I take it from the post title that this is going to be an Odd'l Rockets kit?
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget the Estes Big Yank and Cobra 1500 needle rockets. Cheers.
Hi BAR,
DeleteNope, probably not an Odd'l kit. You are right, there were more tall, skinny rockets!
