1/21 scale R/C X-15 Flights
 
Here is my latest kit, inspired by the new Apogee kit, but of course I designed this to be half the weight so it can actually glide, ready to fly at 7.5 oz with motor, designed for 18mm D-13 and D-24 motors as they are very light and the CG shift is not very much, boost speed is about 170mph or scale speed of a little over Mach 5. Length 29", wingspan 14", diameter 2.6" Starting to ship next week when I get in the smaller motor tubes and carbon fiber rods. I will also start to carry the casings complete with plugged forward closure, the plugged closures by themselves and the D-24 reloads. Those are on order with Aerotech now but have a 2-3 week wait for the casings.
Kit will be $70.99 shipped, decals available from Stickershock23.com via a link in the online instructions, this is so you can do your own if you want to save $$. For my first run I'm ordering the decals to go with the kit for $15 which saves shipping for you if you want. First run will go out sometime next week then it will be listed on the website as normal.
