I knew I had seen that conversion kit! Buying a DBRM, the conversion kit, and Stickershock vinyl makes for a really expensive rocket! Somebody thought I was crazy for spending money on Stickershock DBRM decals to use on DBRM kit.

I’d forgotten all about that mysterious two-stager from NARCON. So not just a new PSII kit but a revival of another body tube diameter and a new nose cone. |

Pretty sure it will actually be a Goblin or Blue Bird Zero. Don't forget the BT-55 version of that cone! |

Yes, James Duffy brought that up on TRF - a Big Blue Bird Zero would be a fun choice, I’m still skeptical that Estes would do a big Goblin with two other upsized versions available from LOC and NCR plus Wildman’s really big fiberglass versions - but I’d be ok with a Big Goblin though I’d have to make a big streamer if it comes with a parachute. It’s not really a Goblin if there’s no chance of popping a fin |

I can do Goblin decals, I’d definitely prefer a Blue Bird Zero!
I am not sure why, but I never built a Goblin. I did do a more evil “Super Goblin”, which employs dual canted 18mm motors. I just cannot leave things standard.

Yeah, then add in a custom Rocketman Patriotic parachute ($60) and you have an even MORE expensive rocket!

Bob,
That’s a beautiful build! I sure hope that is not where you are launching it.

Lee, talking about a beautiful build, that rocket is an absolute knock out! Looks like it's gonna go like stink, too! |
