A panicked conclusion to the big Ninja upscale build. With a looming launch date, a build schedule setback, and a minor paint disaster, can I get the rocket done in time for the Missile Madness event?
Very nice upscale rocket with a beautiful end product. Thanks for presenting your thoughts along the process because it helps people like me prepare for my L1 Cert. Your build ideas are intriguing and technically sound as your perfect flight proves. Looking forward to your next build.
Thanks so much for your Drago 4XL build videos. I am following and building my own along with the video…the “pouring” in of the rocket epoxy for the internal fillet is having me a little concerned. I did it and the epoxy did not drain all the way to the bottom or forward centering ring? Is this an issue? I did heat it up but no too much
If you can mix another batch of epoxy and use a dowel to push it all the way to the forward centering ring then that would be best, but probably not 100% needed. Good luck with your build!
Madcow sells the Big Fizz, which is a 4" upscale Alpha, and the Cricket, which is a 4" Swift 220. LOC has an upscale Goblin. There are probably others out there. Most of the time though, like with this Ninja, they are scratch built.
