Default Colossus clone

This pic seems to work in the test area, so I'll try here. This was cloned a couple years ago. Raped an Executioner with Stickershock vinyl. https://forums.rocketshoppe.com/att...tid=57601&stc=1

Looks great. This one has long been on my list of rockets to clone, but it's a long list.

I may pick up a Maxi Alpha and a section of BT80 to clone as well.

As per the plans, the Colossus uses four 9" long BT80's to get 36". I cloned it with BT80's from Balsa Machining, which are 34" long. I just added a 2" section from another tube, and eliminated 2 of the BT80 joints.
