Default RTB Orion

Would there be enough interest in the release of a Ready to Build Orion to merit a kit?

Which Orion?

That name was on a bunch of rockets.

Maybe a 1/2 scale? That might be fun.

Default Look! A squirrel!

Okay, I, too, would like to see a RTB Orion. But if we keep putting ideas like this in Carl's head and distracting him he will never get the motor machine up and running. Priorities!
Got the RTB Orion scaled up, aaahh, down Carl?

It looks like the preliminary price would be $25.00 because of the SEVEN nose cones! I am working on a prototype.

The wraps and small parts are questionable.
