Default Finished Projects (Finally)

For the past month I have been finishing various rocket projects that I had started in the past 1-3 years (or longer). Since NARAM is in Colorado this year, that was my motivation to finish. Here are some group photos.

The 4" diameter Big Bertha is scratch built. I built it in 2010 and flew it at NARAM-52. But now I have added decals to it. Next to the Bertha is an AMW Der FiberMax.

The Crayon rocket was built with parts from Tom's Rocket Gear. Next to it is a Madcow Mini Frenzy, a K&S Rockets upscale Bluebird Zero, and a Cherokee F (Estes Panavia with Cherokee decals).

Last photo shows the North Coast Rocketry SA-14 Archer, an AMW White Wolf, and a Madcow 2.6" fiberglass Patriot.

(Now I need to rest.)

Thanks all for the kind comments. I hope that they all fly well (those that I am able to fly at NARAM).

I took a few photos for the days I was at NARAM. Wasn't sure where to post them so I created an account on Flickr and added them there. Anyway, here is the link to the album for anyone that wants to see. (I am not much of a photographer.)

For some reason, Flickr gets blocked here at work. I'll have to check this out when I get home in the morning.
