While I was uploading pictures of some of my rockets, I decided to revive this gallery thread, too.
My first and so far only tube finned rocket, the Wipeout. It's made entirely out of toilet paper and toilet paper tubes, including the nose cone, centering rings, launch lugs, and motor tube. Nose weight? Glue soaked toilet paper.
The shock cord was also made out of strips of TP tubes, but it broke on it's first flight. I still need to repair it, this time I think with a braided TP tube strip shock cord. :wink: It flies great on a C6, but the 5 second delay is a little long. Next flight will be on a C6-3.
Yes, those are adhering bits of TP stuck all over it. :roll:
Enjoy!
