[QUOTE=tbzep]Ya reckon there was a reason the original had an 18mm motor mount?
Oh yes. I do have an interchangable 20/50 motor mount so 18 mm motors can also be used. I use this interchangable motor mount for the Squirrel Works Gremlin, the Estes Patriot (the one pictured in the previous post) and my little girl's Estes StormCaster. To date, only the Gremlin has actually used the 18 mm (C6's) several times.

Estes Wasp
Just come to think of it, I still have (in the bag) the Estes WASP kit. It uses the same nosecone as the Wolverine. Hey, I could build both models and simply switch the nosecone
according to which will fly...How does that sound?!

IIRC, the Wolverine is solid silver and the wasp is yellow and white. Your nosecone would reflect the catalog paint scheme on one of the models. However, it would get you by until you got around to ordering a nosecone from Carl.

Yes, you're right; I had thought the WASP's NC was silver. Just went to check the online catalog at Ninfingers and it's the section on the bodytube just below the NC that's silver. Glad you pointed that out. Maybe I could make "my" Woliverine mostly all white with some red stars as the decals...

I'm trying to clone this puppy, and have a couple of questions:
1) What thickness are the fins of the original? 1/16 or 3/32"? 2) Where do I get the pattern for the canopy? It's not in the plans posted at JimZ's. Thanks, Bill

Maxi-Alphax4 at NSL - 2006
Quote:
But then, a couple of hours later, I flew my Maxi-Alphax4 and this time, ended up losing it for good: http://www.challenger498.org/galler...26/FH000012_001 http://www.challenger498.org/galler...0013_001?full=1 Because of this loss (plus others I've had here), I'm not sure I'll be flying at McGregor again in the future. At any given time during the day, you'll see a handful of rocketeers in the downrange area looking for their (lost) model rockets...

If it's the same as the WASP, the fin thickness is 3/32". Someone posted a pattern of the nosecone earlier in this thread; otherwise, I think BMS or SEMROC has a balsa copy of this nosecone & someone makes either a resin or vacuformed copy. Will have to do a search to remember who it is...
