Here's the latest downsize carded rocket -
The Estes A-20 DEMON
This one uses Greg Poehlein's method of printing the "skin" and wrapping it around the BT-20 mainframe.
The fins are 3-ply 110 lb. cardstock, sandwiched around cereal box cardboard.
The nose cone is available from Semroc, it's #BNC-20AM.
I did my best to replicate the chrome wraps and fin plates using lots of gray tones.
It stands 14 1/2" tall and flys with 13mm or 18mm engines.
The PDF is available HERE
at Wayne Hill's Rocketry Blog. Scroll down almost to the bottom.
Or, email me at [email protected] and I'll send you the PDF -It's free!
If you''ve never built a carded rocket, you should give it a try.
No painting, except for the nose cone.
Easy, cheap and a great afternoon project.
