The Educator - Modified Big Daddy - Simpsons Theme
Its going to be used for Outreach and Rocketry Education
This is my rocket, The Educator, which is a modified Big Daddy. The first modifications were adding basswood fins and centering rings. The second modification was adding a payload section. This was accomplished by using an addition 12" section of body tubing. A MDF coupler was then expoxied into the 6" coupler. The coupler was then expoxied into the aft end of the payload section. The bulkhead contained a eyescrew for the upper attachment point for the shockcord. Custom 1/4" Launch Lugs were then added A motor retention system was created by two screw receptors being added to the aft center ring. A basswood plate is then screwed down to hold in the motor. The rocket has a simpons school bus team. If you notice there are simpsons characters in the school bus windows. In following with this team here is a special graphic. It says: "I will only fly within the scope of my certification and required licensing. I will not launch my rocket at targets. I will not launch my rockets if winds exceed 20 mph. I will not attempt to recover my rocket from power lines." For more pictures and information: http://www.freewebs.com/msurocketgurl |
