Pikmin Onion Rocket, 13mm
Description
My grandson, upon seeing my line of Sputnik model rockets, declared that they look like Pikmin Onions and that I should make an onion rocket. So I did. I took 3DTwinkie's design (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6238395) and exaggerated the height by 10% to make more room for a 13mm motor (45mm long). Even so, a good portion of the motor ended up sticking out the bottom. I custom made 9" chutes for these. Unlike the larger 24mm version of these rockets, these smaller ones do not carry pikminauts. You'll need 3 bbq skewers (the fatter kind), or three bamboo chopsticks (the pointed end kind work great) cut to about 150mm for the legs. You'll also need 45mm of BT-5 (13mm) body tube for the motor. Though I made and flew all four colors shown here, I only captured video of the purple one. That video is part of this launch video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoQh2kmyuqY
