Does anyone know how thick the balsa sheet ...
for the Estes Pegasus #0806 was? I'd like to clone one!
Thanks! Roy |
Never mind, I found it on JimZ's site.

Roy, What was the thickness, just in case someone else is wondering? |
The thickness of the balsa sheet was 1/16"
|
The Pegasus was one of very few Estes rockets that used 1/16" fin stock.
All of the others with two exceptions are mini-brutes as well. The only two rockets I know of using 18mm power and 1/16" fin stock are the Astron Streak and the Astron Sprint. |

Actually, several of the orignal K series rockets used 1/16" fin stock.... K-08 Astron Sky Hook K-14 Astron Drifter K-18 Astron X-Ray K-20 Mars Snooper K-25 Astron Gyroc K-31 Starblazer (original Series III engine version) I am sure there were others. |
The current Wizard (1292) is an 18mm motor model which has 1/16th thick fins.

Wow.
I thought all of those used 3/32". |
Then there's the Estes Aerospace Club (EAC) Viper that had 1/16" thick fins too.
I seem to remember that there are 1/16" thick fins on the Estes Courier (1911), and as detail parts on the Photon Probe as well. |
Come to think of it, the Ninja and the Zinger were both 18mm and used 1/16" stock also...not that I'd be interested in those runts other than for a fire-and-forget near-orbital launch on something like an Aerotech D10 or D21...
