Here's a fun Micro Max rocket design.
I have a feeling that this model was designed for the daughter of the Rocketship Games family. Her name must be Alice.
Note in the picture above, the sheet of pre-cut vinyl stars. There are a few extras.
The six fins are laser cut from 1/16" thick balsa.
Through the wall (TTW) fins on a 1/8 A, MMX rocket!
Notice the slots for holding the root edges of the fins.
Integrated into the engine mount is the launch lug and a small Kevlar tie loop.
The yellow square is a sticker for streamer attachment to the Kevlar shock cord.
The white nose cone is very smooth, 3D printed. On the base is a crossbar to tie on the Kevlar shock cord.
The streamer is cut from rip-stop nylon.
This could be a perfect model for a young girl who likes Unicorns.
This may seem strange but...I kind of like it.
ReplyDeleteHi Jimmy,
DeleteThe designers of these models seems to have some innovative parts in each kit. This one has an integrated launch lug / fin slots / engine mount. The R4 kit "The Brett" includes cut vinyl masks. I'm looking forward to trying those.
I've been looking at these. Can't wait to see what you think. Between Tybee, eRockets, and ASP, I could end up with more MicroMaxx rockets than any others.
ReplyDeleteHi Metal,
DeleteThese Rocketship Games kits were a nice surprise, very well produced with great instructions.
Thru-the-wall fins on a MicroMaxx rocket? Really!
What are "Tybee" rockets? I haven't heard of those.
Dang autocorrect, that was supposed to be these, eRockets...
DeleteLove my Rocketship Games kits! I really need to order an R5 Hawkeye and some more MMX motors too. MMX stuff is surprisingly addictive!
