Here is a picture of the Bottom of the Mars Snooper II airframe. This is the total lengh of the botton section with the reducer on top. I have the Easyglas Sock on the airframe right now but it isn't epoxyed yest as I am waiting for a small piece of Kevlar for the motor section that was added to it to bring it up to as close to scale as I could

Here is a picture of me standing next to the bottom section of the airframe with the reducer just so you can see how tall the bottom section is

Here is a picture of all of the airframes, The bottom and the top with the nose cone. and on the small table is the airframes that will go between the the fins on the bottom of the fins. you can see on the botton of the 6 inch airframe is the top fins that I have already cut out. I was hoping to have all the fins cut out this weekend but do to Illness it didn't get done so I will hopefully have them done this week some time

Here I am standing with all the tubes so you can see how tall the tubes are. I am 6'1" tall so as you can see this will be a tall rocket. and as far as I know the biggest one made also

This is another picture of the Buisness end of the rocket as you can see it has the coupler and the rest of the airframe on it. The lower fins will connect to the 54mm tube and to a centering ring that will be on the out side of the airframe under the shroud to help hold the fins on. I also left the 54mm tube full lenght so that Scott Bowers could make a EX motor that would fit in to it. si it will have to be made extra strong because Scott like to make some hard hitting motors :-)

The airframes have a layer of Kevlar and 2 layers of EasyGlas socks on it and the fins will be fiber glassed to the motor tube and to the airframe so it should be strong. the fins are 9 ply 1/2 plywood so it shouldn't have any fin flutter
