Donor's Rockets - Designed!

Back in October, I raised money for the Bloomington Playwrights Project, offering scratch built rockets as an incentive. This spring, I'll hold a launch for the donors, and they will keep the rockets I build for them.

The Donor's Rocket has been designed.

Now I just need to buy the parts and build the rockets.

I selected an odd size for this rocket. It uses a BT56 - an Estes tube size, just slightly larger in diameter than the BT55 (used in many kits, including the Cosmic Explorer). As far as I can tell, you don't see the BT56 much these days. Only a couple of websites I've found actually carry them, and one is out of stock.

But I like the idea of using a different sized tube, and I really like the nose cones that are available.

OK, back to sanding fins...
