Default Apopgee II And Farside X Upscale

Well I ordered all the part's for both rocket's from Semroc and Sandman. The Apogee II is a 1.80 upscale from a BT-20 to BT-55. The Farside X is a 1.68 upscale and is a BT-60 transitioning to a LT275. Which is where Sandman come's in, he's making a custom NC and TA.

You should have told me about the Apogee II.

I already did that one in a BT-56 upscale.

SEMROC carries BT-55 size clear tube now.

Go all the way to the bottom of the page.

I got my BT-56 size tube from an Estes Super Nova Payloader.

Well I got my NC, Tube adaptor and sticker's from Sandman today and they are first class all the way. I can say without hesitation there the best balsa pieces I've ever seen. I've started building the Apogee's motor mount's and need to order some balsa for the fin's.
