Built one, flew it around three times.

I tell you, it ZOOMS! Amazingly, I recovered all the bits all three times.

I have three parts bundles for a 24mm version. I've been procrastinating building "my" copy.

I'd better throw these lyrics out there to even things up a bit...

You've got something about you
You've got something I need
Daughter of Aphrodite
Hear my words and take heed

Any rocket named "Destroyer" should be RIGGED to BLOW APART with both a glued-in engine and a glued-in nose cone.

I made a Big Beth X-2 many years ago (1999 or 2000 timeframe), BT-60 sized with 24mm mounts. Not an exact upscale clone but same concept. The pictures I have aren't the best.

Probably since the name Bertha was already taken …

I have had that one on my list to build for a long time.
