Oh yeah. Won't be long now. I am also planning on an 8X upscale to fly on 38mm.

How about a 20X upscale from Polecat Aerospace.

Or a 10X upscale from Madcow Rocketry.

The 8X should have 4 inch tubing, and be a little over three feet tall!

As for the Mosquitos, you can purchase all the BNC-5Vs nose cones you want from Semroc, along with a 34" length of tube (enough to make 17 Mosquitos). Pick up a length of balsa from Semroc or your local hobby store and you can make Mosquitos for way less than the eBay kits will probably cost.
