The Estes Mark II

That's a great looking upscale!

Here are the JimZ scans of the Mark II:

Love the paint scheme on the biggun.

I miss being SAM 0058

Build floor: Centuri Mini Dactyl Estes - Low Boom SST Semroc - Marauder, Shrike, SST Shuttle

In paint: Canaroc Starfighter Scorpion Estes F-22 Air Superiority Fighter, Multi-Roc, Solar Sailer II, Xarconian Cruiser Semroc Cyber III

Ready to fly: Estes - Solar Sailer II Semroc - Earmark, Groonie Der V 1/2

The Estes Mark II was one of the few rockets we could afford back in the day, so it is still special to me.

Does anyone sell the JT-30-C coupler for cloning the Estes Mark II?

Oh...also if you select the fin set on the Semroc website linked to the Estes Mark II you get the fin set for the Rock-A-Chute Mark II.

Maybe we could get Carl to fix that.

Shoot him an e-mail real quick, and he'll get on that ASAP.

E-mail Carl the Great and Powerful to point out an error and risk being banned from Semroc for all eternity.

NOT WORTHY!

(..ok I did it anyway)

A Rocksim design file for the Mark II is at:

My first rocket was one I built as a class project in the sixth grade. For years I had remembered building an Alpha. Then someone posted a photo of a Mark II (with the distinctive scalloped decal) in one of the forums and I realized my memory was faulty. It was definitely a Mark II.

Thanks, it was easier than laying out the original. If I can get the fins right, I'm planning a 3 inch,

It looked far better before a couple dozen launches. I use Duplicolor automotive lacquer finishes, including a 1500 grit wet sanded clearcoat, then 3M polish.

I have a picture where you can read the wattage in the reflection on a fin on the Red Max. If I can find it, I'll post it.

Thanks.
