Wanted pdrocketry gemini titan estes k21 clone

I sold one about 2yrs ago but can't remember who it went to. It was someone on this forum though.
|
Ok thanks for info. One guy messaged me I'll see where it goes.
|
One thing I did not mention when answering your PM is that I never play that "make me an offer" GAME with potential sellers. My offer will always be INSULTINGLY LOW.
When I sell I never do that and don't buy into that crapola when buying. If someone truly wants to sell, THEY need to name the price. Negotiation can go from that starting point. |
If you find two I would love to have one
|
Only had two and the one I didn't sell is in process of building.
They actually are more rare than the original. You may have to find an original and pay the outrageous $200+ price if you really want one. |

Or clone one, or something similar. Lots of parts out there. Tom Beach even published an excellent article on building a Gemini Titan in a recent issue of Sport Rocketry. -W |
The only hard part is the die-cut parts for the motor tubes, two sets of which I recently sold on Ebay. The tubes and nose cone should be easy to obtain from a number of vendors. And I think John Pursley sells a vinyl wrap set that makes finishing a breeze.

Pursley's Gemini-Titan wraps comes with a suggested parts list and basic instructions for cloing your own BT-70 or BT-80 based scale model. Tom Beach used Pursley's wraps and Shapeways parts created by Kevin Cespedes. In addition to basic parts, the wraps cost about $30, and the Shapeways parts about $61 for the BT-70 size. BT-80 size parts are about $76. http://www.accur8.com/Accur8_Order_Page.html https://www.shapeways.com/marketpla...otix+and+gemini |
Here's my 2 cents: if you are making an Estes K-21 clone, then do it according to the original plans: Balsa nose cone, dowel trusses, paper shrouds, etc. If you are using 3D parts and vinyl wraps, you are an assembler, not a craftsman builder. Something a 10 year old could do. It may look good on your display shelf, but what have you actually learned, and what skills have you acquired or honed? I know a lot of people will disagree, especially the younger ones. But I get a great deal more satisfaction when I accomplish something that is challenging, rather than easy, no matter how good it looks. (Grumble, grumble, slipping dentures back in). ;)
