I liked the look of it and found the enlarged payload bay interesting and wanted to build one, received as a birthday present and waited less than a ... [More]
2013-09-12Der Shred Max - Mostly Done Build Entry Apologies for no photos. Life got a bit hectic and I've had to pack the rocket away for a bit. Paint is done but might give nosecone another try. Decals are on and I think they are ok. I tried to "Shred" the lower decals a bit, and while it looked ok on the paper it isn't really noticeable on the ... [More]

2012-08-12Virgin Bride (Aerotech Mustang) Flight Well, not much to write as we all only saw the thing for under two seconds before we lost it in the clouds. Had six trackers out in the fields and we all lost it. Next time GPS tracker required. Left the pad faster than anything I have ever seen though. It will be rebuilt (or cloned) and flown ... [More]
