A couple of completed ones
While unemployed, I've had a bit of time to complete some of the numerous half-finished models on my shelves. Here's a couple that I got done, they are an Estes Sprint and Centuri (Semroc) Batrok. I changed the Batrok a bit by painting it black and using a white decal. I only built the Sprint because I had an original Estes decal floating around that needed to be used.
I've got a few more just about done that I'll post later. Unless of course I get a job before then |

Sweeeeet!
Nice reproductions, Kurt.
I have been spending every day since New Years trying to sort out my "incompletes" also. Gosh, I had almost forgotten about a few of them. I will never bag up an incomplete just for neatness sake again. Not to mention the parts collected for kits planned and postponed. It never seems to end. Then you read about a fellow YORF member's project and again another addition to the build queue. Look forward to everything you have to show. Hope work comes to you as you need it. Best Wishes |

I have to bag up my incompletes, or I lose the parts...

I have flown my Astron Sprint on vintage B14-7's several times and it is always a GREAT flight.
If it was still easily available, the B14-7 would be my "standard" motor for the Astron Sprint ! I have managed to get it back the 8 or so times it has flown on a C6-7 too.

It takes off like a rifle shot on the B14-7 but is not hard to track as the tracking smoke starts about 0.3 sec into the flight.
Those old engines have REALLY good tracking smoke during the coast phase. At Apogee of a C6-7 flight one can just barely see it if it is perfectly clear. Generally you dont see it until that 90" of streamer unfurls, then it is easy to see.

Since you and Eric are going to be flying "big" BP, I'll see if I can unearth one of my Sprint's and some B14-7's. We can have a drag race! Bob Kaplow, you should try to make this WOOSH sod farm launch. Bring some motors!

I did. As you might expect, it was never seen nor hear from again. That was with a full flight line watching, too.
