LOL....you gotta read the article. It's an upscale of the Estes kit.

It's an upscale of a downscale. :confused: :eek: :rolleyes: :D

Not upscaled from the real thing, but upscaled from the Model Rocket kit:Magnum Jayhawk http://plans.rocketshoppe.com/centuri/cen5342/cen5342.htmhttp://plans.rocketshoppe.com/centuri/cen5342/cen5342.htm (http://plans.rocketshoppe.com/centuri/cen5342/cen5342.htmhttp://plans.rocketshoppe.com/centuri/cen5342/cen5342.htm)

Maybe it's an upscale of Marty...

Thanks for the B-day wishes.

And any Jayhawk is a good Jayhawk.


Hmmm. Maybe I can use some of those BT-101 tubes and the big nose cones filling up a chunk of my garage? Either that or another 7 x C6-3 cluster rocket. I have HUNDREDS of C6-3 motors......

yeah, but the Estes Pro Series (not Centuri Mangum-pg.14 of the article) Jayhawk is a downscale of the "real thing" making any upscale in actuality a downscale of the "real thing" unless it's a 1:1 scale ala the Gates Brothers version.
Mario,

Please stop going back deleting all your posts. I don't want to have to turn off the feature altogether.

Thank you.

No guys I'm not 18 Feet tall, but after seeing myself on the cover...I'm walking pretty tall. I never thought of it as a downscale.....I was just trying to build a really cool rocket a few years back. I like upscales and downscales of all sorts.
