Starship Avalon (inspired from the ship in the movie "Passengers")
OK to be fair this one isn't technically "completed" but it is completely "finished". Build thread on that other forum Last edited by neil_w : 07-17-2017 at 09:51 AM. |

Neil - I really like the design of the APRO Lander II !
And the finish on the Starship Avalon is outstanding.

Congrats Neil,
Both look great! I'm curious if the Avalon will spin on the say up.

Thanks. It's pretty closely derived from Gary Byrum's original, which I pretty much fell in love with the moment I first saw it. I did muck with the fin design just to personalize it a bit. Quote:
Thanks, that one has been an adventure, and the design has evolved quite a bit from original conception. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Long meandering build threads for both are on TRF. |

Thanks. It ought to spin at least *some*, but it's hard to say how much. I look forward to finding out, it should be flightworthy in time for the next launch I attend, which will be... well I'm not sure exactly. |

I REALLY LIKE your Starship Avalon. I may have to borrow those curved type fins you have on a future Estes Design.

The APRO lander looks like a lost Centuri design.
The Avalon looks like a lost Estes design. Would buy both.

Love the APRO paint scheme. It needs a Centuri Laser-X sitting next to it for a family photo!
