4. Built the Excelsior Kram, a goony of the Estes Astron Mark II.
More assembled but not yet finished.
Build, build, build!

How much nose weight did you put in the Snake Jumper clone? There was one of the Snake Jumper kits on eBay this weekend that went for $31 that I didn’t bid on. I was able to get pretty much all the parts and decals from eRockets using a standard BC-1828 solid nose cone because the drilled nose cone like the kit with a clay weight appear to be discontinued.

Just curious. When I build mine I was going to drill a hole in the base of the nose cone and glue an appropriately weighted lead sinker with the wire loop into the drilled hole. Thanks

Nope. You still have to tackle the red tag Mercury Redstone.
