Excelsior Rocketry - Der Fat Max {Plan}
Manufacturer: Excelsior Rocketry
Construction Rating: 
Flight Rating:
Overall Rating:
Contributed by Bill Eichelberger
Brief
I always loved the versatility of the Estes Fat Boy, and over the years I bought quite a few of them for different projects, most of them of the Goony persuasion. When a fellow club member decide to move away from low power and offered one for sale from his stash, I jumped at the chance to pick it up with this project in mind. Under normal circumstances all of the Fat Boy kit is used in the construction of this rocket except for the fins, but I decided to make the rocket 24mm powered since the field I flew on most regularly was large enough to handle it.
