Merry Christmas 2019

Reprinted from 2010 -

OH, ROCKET - TREE
Space Modeling Parody of Oh, Christmas Tree
Oh, Rocket-tree Oh, Rocket-tree,
How lovely is thy smoke trail,
Oh, Rocket-tree Oh, Rocket-tree,
Fly Vertically without fail.

With C6-3, we’ll rubberneck,
At peak of flight, a rear eject,

Oh, Rocket-tree Oh, Rocket-tree
It landed close - oh whoo-o-pee.

"But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good flight."

"Say, little Bobby, Did you get a Wedgie for Christmas?"

The Wedgie is an OOP Odd'l Rockets kit that had available skins to fit the triangle sides.

Upscale Squatty Body

From TRF -
Gary 7 made an upscale Odd'l Squatty Body!





















"Started the Rocksim design phase early August. Got this done in time for Midwest Power. Flown on K535."

Whatever Happened To . . . The Wedgie?

I thought we really had a winner with this one.
It went through more flight testing than any other Odd'l design.

Roger Smith designed software to input your art or a NAR logo and section name. I drew up Centuri Point, Brick Wall and Christmas Tree body skins.

I had flown pyramids before but was never impressed with the low altitude a shorter four-sided model got.
The Wedgie was a more slender, three sided Tetrahedron. It flew very well with a C6-3.

But, it just didn't sell enough kits to keep it going!
The Wedgie parts box is now home for the Pigasus kit pieces.
As far as I can tell, there are no more Wedgie kits from my vendors.
