Default Up Scale Ramjet

Been building an upscale Ramjet for the past 7 years little by little hahaha. All I need to do is paint it and decal it and its done now. Im not sure it will ever fly though, its been through several moves, had a fin broken off twice and one fin is slightly warped. But technically she could fly off of a Aerotech E or Estes D-E Maybe a D-21-4T from Aerotech with an adapter.
But im scared to fly it with all the bumps its taken over the years. I'll take some pictures of it if I finish it this weekend.

Next Project will be building my first Cluster Rocket. Not sure if im going to get a Kit and modify it or build my own....I wish Estes still made cluster rockets. Ive seen a few in action, seeing all the smoke and the loud sound is Awesome!

Looking forward to seeing your Ramjet. I've built the BMS Cobra and I've cloned the Estes Scrambler (with Sandman's awesome decals) and really enjoy both. The Cobra has flown once, the Scrambler twice . All flights were at a club launch on three C6-7s and all flew perfectly.
I believe you can still find the BMS kit out there.

One can still get the BMS Astron Cobra clone from BMS as far as I know...
Wish BMS would finish their parts as well as Semroc.
One always has to do MUCH more sanding/filling on BMS cones/transitions.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !

Sandman was who I got the upscale Decals from for the RamJet.
Its been raining here non stop all week. Supposed to stop Saturday though, so im hoping to get it finished by the end of the weekend.
