Here's part of what I have laying around waiting for the paint season to arrive.
|
Which Mars Snooper color scheme do you plan to use?
|
Fly that Fire Fly on some original S motors. That's what I plan on doing with mine, when I get it built. ;) The Fire Fly was my first 2-stager as a kid.
What is that 5th rocket up there? Is it a Canaroc design? Where'd you get the ramjet cones for the Snooper? |

Probably red with a flat black tail section (part with the vanes) Quote:
Who has a supply of those? :( Quote:
Nope, that's one of my own inventions. I drew that plan up in HS back in the 70's and finally got around to building one last Fall. Quote:
Thats the Qmodeling kit. Highly recommended BTW. I have their Starship Vega that's finished and just got the Stiletto for Christmas. The first kit is a Phoenix (Matt Steele) Brighthawk 2000 Second is a Semroc Laser X Third is the Snooper II Fourth is a BT-50 size Mini Vindicator Fifth is the Pulsar Buzz original Sixth is the Shrox Space Shuttle Seventh is a Thoy Thuria and Semroc FireFly. The Thuria is one of the kits I designed for Thoy before Rich sold the company to Rocket R&D. |

Do you mean besides me and Bob Kaplow? ;) There's a dude down in TX that "had" a bunch he was looking to dump. I could give you his contact info if you want to get ahold of him to see if he still has them. I fly my original Birdie on shorties still as well. :) Quote:
I've got a Thuria and Cluros sitting around here somewhere that I got cheap from Dave at Red Arrow a number of years ago. Who came up with the funky names? |

Sure, pass it along. I bought a ton of A10-0's from Red Arrow last year to fly in my Midget and Beta. I had planned on modifying the FireFly to use mini's, but if I can get some shorties I can hold off on that. :) Quote:
I did. I'm a huge fan of the John Carter of Mars books by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Thuria and Cluros were the "Barsoomian" names for the Martian moons. ;) The Sci Fi kit I designed for Rich that never made the store shelves was called Tavia after a female character in one of the books. Here's a pic of that model. |

I sent you one contact by email. The other one is in my rocketryonline.com email box, and that system (everyone.net) is down right now. |

Here are some progress shots (or lack of progress) and some new projects.
In no particular order there's a Semroc SLS Jaguar, SLS Javelin, Laser-X, Astro Jr, and Firefly. Also a 1X Der Red Max clone, mini Vindicator, and two upscale Screamers. Why two? Easy.... I finally wore out my original upscale and needed a new one. Phred's decal sheet came with enough to dress out two so I made two! Lets see... there's still the THOY Thuria needing primer, an Estes Big Daddy, my Cherokee-DD, Qmodeling Snooper II, Shrox Shuttle, Scale Kits Apex, DOM entry Pulsar, and my Phoenix Brighthawk 2K. I need to do a lot of painting! I want to get started on my upscale Stiletto and 1X Black Widow clones! :D |

I notice you went with a longer payload section on your CDD. What's the length on that section? I'd like to punch all of those numbers in to RS before writing up the PDF instructions. Craig |

Sincy THOY is OOP and OOB, what is the status on your Thuria design? Could it perhaps be a good candidate for BARCLONE now? Or, perhaps, since it was intended to be a commercial production kit, maybe a set of plans could be sent to Scott? :rolleyes: Craig |
