;) Hi: This message is going out to "race58" but, anyone might find these attached pictures of my own "offset fin design" quite interesting. Sorry guys. My files too big. Will work on it tomorrow.

Neat design! My first thought was Battlestar Galctica. 3 engine cluster or 3x18mm + 2x13mm? Even with all the weight I bet that baby scoots up there.

Thanks! Never corollated my design to craft of Battle Star Galatica. Maybe my sunconscious pulled it out. Anyway, u r my first feedback. Glad u like it! On take off it is slow, so u can watch it. Does a 180 degree roll like shuttle. ;)

Cool design! Do you by chance have a picture that includes the front end of this wonderful looking craft?

Hi : Glad u like it. It's 51" long with 2 "cargo bays." One is occupied with a satellite. Unfortunately, my pics r way to many kb's and Scott, forum admin had to shrink them down. Also, with it's length, very difficult to get a good shot that does it justice. I will try and impose on Scott one more time. Thanks 4 the feedback. ;)

Hi Kurt: Correct. 3 C6-5s and 2 smaller "Jato" engines. Ones I had purchased were glorified "smoke bombs," and not boosters @ all. With any luck Scott will shrink down my latest picture so u can better get an idea of how massive a 51" rocket is. TTY Glenn ;)

Glenn:
I tried to post the other two pic's you sent but I'm having the same problem you did. I have never had a problem posting pictures on forums but this one won't let me do it. Must be some "Secret Code" :D
Maybe somebody can give us the code :) ;) Hi: This message is going out to "race58" but, anyone might find these attached pictures of my own "offset fin design" quite interesting. Sorry guys. My files too big. Will work on it tomorrow.

Hi Bob: I realize not a very good picture. Going to try for another. Problem is size. Must be less than 488kb if anyone has an idea to shrink it down. TTY Glenn ;)

I don't know what kind of photo editor you have but most of them let you resize. Depending on the size of the file, you could start with 50%. Usually, if I'm close , I go with 80%.
