My collection of models for the day (31 in all). This is what I've spent my evenings for the last few weeks working on... Of note are my Maxi-Mars Snooper, Maxi Sputnik and Styrofoam Trident (didn't fly due to gusty winds). |
 |
Close up showing my Mini-Grissom, Mini-Orbital Transport, Mini-Sputnik and 3 "fempto" model including a 1:1600 flying scale Saturn V (smallest flying Saturn V in existance! |
 |
Another closeup showing my mini starlight, mini saucer, mini gyroc, maxi birdie, mini X-ray and a slew of others. The Sprint in the lower left was being preped for it's 316th flight (built in 1969). I arranged to have it as the 316th flight of the day. Quite the occation for me *S* |
 |
My Maxi-Birdie on the pad |
 |
Mini-Saucer lifts off! |
 |
If you look closely, you can see my mini gyroc on the pad (yellow) |
 |
There's Mr. Spock (Spaceman Rocket, scratch built) |
 |
My Orange Crayola Crayon, great flight! Kids love this model! |
 |
My Preator model takes off! |
 |
This is how to NOT
launch an egg-lofter (unless that is, you WANT scrambled eggs...) If you look closely, you can see the bottom of the rocket just to the right of the blast with the shockcord, nose and parachute also to the right of the blast. Surprisingly, while the egg was scrambled, the rocket is in perfect condition and could have been placed right back on the pad, except for the want of another egg... |
 |
This is a Mercury Redstone. Not sure whose. |
 |
Beautiful shot of someone's Saturn V taking off. (If anyone knows the owners of these models, please let me know and I will update these pages) |
 |
Nice straight launch of a model |
 |
Streaking skyward. one of many G motors from this day! |
 |
My 2 stages Flying Saucer. An Estes kit saucer as the first stage (C6-0) and my mini-saucer as the second stage (A10-0T) |
 |
Small model rises straight and true! |
 |
My Maxi-Mars Lander. note the nose cone is a scale Mini-Mars Lander (not the one from Estes, but a scale replica of the original) |
 |
A nice picture, but grossly under powered on a D motor. She flew much better on an E later in the day! |
