Default Thrustline Aerospace Mike IX clone

This is one of my favorites from Thrustline. Second only to the Arapahoe E. Building this one like the original single stage 3x24mm cluster.

I’m also working on a two stage version, but that will have to wait. A couple of changes from the original are I’ve laminated the bottom fins with paper and I’m using a heavy wall BT80 tube. The landings were tuff on the lower fins....and the exhaust from 3 blazing D12’s would eat them up. Heavier tube because of the 3x ejection charge really wears on the thinner tube.

Some pics of the progress so far. I searched thru my old decal stash and found some for this rocket. I’ll probably go with a ‘splinter’ camo similar to my little Red Max I’ve had for years. The beta Mike IX I did for Thrustline had this kinda camo scheme.
