That's a gorgeous collection! Have they been flown?

IIRC Carl has mentioned the cost of an Athena would be pretty high due to all the balsa.

Just out of curiousity, whatever became of the SLS Long Tom you were working on some time ago? That was looking very nice.

I have built two clones of the Athena as well.
I think parts cost over the Orion would only be minimal.
It uses the same fins/pods with longer tubes and a 29mm mount.
A Nylon chute would add cost but is a MUST in my book.

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, and HAVOC !

Bob,

I am sorry. I could not hear you because someone kept interrupting while you were talking. Sounded like GH, but I could not tell. Maybe if we all just raised our hands before we spoke, we could understand each other. I am sure you had an important point to share with the class.

Oh...... it's sitting next to all the other rockets I've worked on, but not finished over the past couple of years.... *sigh* I really don't have much left to do. I want to fly it staged and just need to rig the timer and battery. The removable motor mounts makes that even easier, I just need time to do it.

Thanks for the reply. Please post, if you would, when you get it finished/flying. I'm interested to see how it turns out.

On topic, any rockets Semroc produces will be fine with me. Though, I told myself I'd stop buying for a spell. Hasn't worked out real well as of yet.

The little Sprite has jumped up on my 'to build' list. If and when the Nike-Tomahawk comes out, well, its certainly going on my 'to buy' list. I confess, there's little I like better than getting those long, white boxes in the mail. I don't know why.

And incidentally, the Texas Firefly is an exceptionally good looking rocket—even in primer.

Any chance of a Micro-Probe coming out?

Carl,

Is 'GH' the guy who sits in seat B14 in the classroom?

Yeah, you might want to talk to Doug Holverson first about that one...
