Second-hand parts build: Uncle Stumpy
Found a bunch of fins today while cleaning in my shop. Nicely done basswood fins of what I believe were another attempt at an Estes Rogue upscale, circa 2001. One was sanded, three were still raw, but they were all nice and straight. I'd picked up an Estes Super Alpha last week to scavenge the nose cone for one of the FSI upscales I'm building, so I had my body tube, motor mount and recovery system taken care of, and I found a Semroc BNC60 that I'd bought for another project before deciding to use another cone. All added up they looked kind of goony Rogue-esque. The name was the first thing that popped into my head. (Uncle Stumpy was one of the career students at NKU when I was there. Don't ask. )
