OK now I'm concerned. All of the above points relate directly to my involvement with Rocketry. I mean I asked Carl to clone the Sat V in another thread just today. Of course he didn't answer me but I asked...

Whenever we discuss collections it is usually about bagged kits. But I happen to know Buzz has a hugely impressive collection of built kits. Check out his photos at: http://www.cv41.org/personal/gallery/collection (With enough money) anybody can amass a big collection of unopened kits, and I'm as guilty as anybody. But what I find much more impressive are those who have built and continue to fly so many classic models. My friend Sandman is another with an incredible collection of built classics. In our NAR group, member Shawn always shows up with some incredible blasts from the past that he loads up an flies like they were no more valuable than a WalMart Launchable. It's always huge fun to see these beauties fly.

I'm looking at Buzz' collection of built kits (thanks for the link Gus,) and I come across this Estes rocket. I know I've seen it before, but what is it? Searching Estes + OTL doesn't find me anything like this kit.
[edit] OK, more looking is good  The Orbital Transport Laboratory OTL-7A was a MRN design of the month. Plans are here: http://www.dars.org/jimz/eirp_73.htm Great, another plan in the build queue Last edited by Skippy : 08-24-2007 at 03:22 AM.

You will have to first stop at SEMROC and get yourself one of the new Mercury Capsules. http://www.semroc.com/Store/scripts/prodList.asp

I'm pretty sure it uses the Gemini capsule. SEMROC probably sells that one, too. If not, BMS does.

Semroc does in fact sell the BNC-60AB Gemini capsule.
BMS supplies this one as well. As an interesting side note, I have one of each and I have found the as delivered finish/sanding on virtually all Semroc cones is much nicer than the BMS produced cones. I replaced the Gemini capsule in my PDR K-21 Gemini Titan that was by BMS with a Semroc one to save LOTS of sanding/extra coats of Balsa Fillercoat & sanding Sealer.

Yes it is the Gemini capsule (I hadn't checked the plans when I first posted) and yes, SEMROC does carry that as the BNC-60AB just scroll down the page a little bit. It's $4.30.

I also noted the better fit and finish, and I did exactly the same, also because the BMS cone is about 1/8" - 3/16" shorter than it should've been.
