Upscale NASA Pegasus
Quote:
And here it is Monday at LDRS: http://www.libertylaunchsystems.com...ll/DSC_0382.JPG That's an O-something-or-other research motor (fka EX). I didn't fly anything so big, but did manage to 1) get my L2, 2) power prang a BT-70 upscale Midget, 3) fly a Comanche on a full D-C-C stack and 4) get really psyched about my next outing. Doug |

HO-LEE SCHLITZ! Congrats on the L2 and sorry about the Midget prang. My next outing should be this weekend, and I'm also pretty jazzed. I finally finished the BT-80 Wizard that I started YEARS ago. Just an E-powered flight, but it's always nice to finish one that has been around long enough to house spiders. (Boy, are THEY gonna be surprised!)

JSP and Bill, over on TRF, user Fore Check built a 266% upscale Scorpius in 2004. Here's a link to his thread: http://www.rocketryforum.com/showth...&threadid=10871

Yeah, everyone that has that nosecone made seems to want it for an upscale Goblin. Me too, of course. That's why I had 2 of them made. |

Wow! That's beautiful.... Of course now I'm not sure if I'll do one... I was looking at the Nebulon Warrior too. Do you know if anyone has done that one?

Can't say I've seen that one. Looks like it would upscale fairly nicely though.

Actually, it's the preferred abbreviation... there's a whole story there that I won't bore you with now. Quote:
I've been there. I'll be back... The construction of the Pegasus is much simpler than I expected... alignment guide? Who needs them! But I'm not looking to replicate it. Rather, I'm collecting details for a series of "exotic-lite" models I plan to build. Right after I build and fly the Cyclone unicopter... Quote:
Thanks! I drew it myself, actually... I'm no artist, but once in a while something I draw comes out like I want it. |

Cool model. I'm rather uninterested in upscales, though... I much prefer the scale I grew up building. Besides which, I don't have access to a large enough launch field for big rockets. Yet. |
