Default The latest Roachwerks Creation!

I just finished this project for a customer.

The transition fits a 7.62" body tube with a 6.07" tube down the middle. The transition was made with 4" x 4" s glued together (four of them!) then hollowed out to fit a 6" PML tube

The capsule which was made with 3" x 3" blocks and some 1" x 4" slabs glued on the outside, fits into the 6" tube.

The worst part was hollowing out the transition for the 6" tube!

Is this going to be a Mercury-Redstone, or Mercury-Atlas?

Niether.

It is going to be a Mercury Little Joe.

It's high powered with a 38mm motor mount.
