    Yet another strange build

    Look at these photos and tell me what you see.
    Well, what you are looking at is an egg launching nose cone from a now defunct Estes rocket.
    What my buddy Greg (Mr Pita) saw was a possible minisub project.
    At our last funrun he presented me with the item so I could get some design ideas.

    Kind of a three person brainstorming with me, myself, and I.
    It involves strong coffee, and a lot of talking to myself.
    I am maybe 75% sure I can work with the nose cone to make something totally dangerous and fast.
    After coming up with a few ideas we found the rocket has not been made in 10 years.
    But good old Ebad to the rescue turned up two more kits.
    (Cue the crowd) yaaaaaaaaa!
    So stay tuned sports fans. There will be a day in the not so near future when the boys at the local watering hole will say.

      Actually we already do. Plus if I have something in the water it is double trouble. As I told BD. I saw a possible delfin /tadpole hybrid. So we will see what the mind of Dave creates

        Still not sure of a direction yet.
        One idea is to add a tube tail and maybe duct the prop in the tube.
        Call it the RPG.
        Mr Pita said Bazooka Joe.
        This is a cardboard tube, but you get the idea. BDClick image for larger version

          DAVE! I like your strange builds. I have built a sub since the OTW R-2 but I'm planning one soon!
