I took the attached photo at the Tripoli Tampa Rocketry Association Launch a few weeks ago. It captures the lift-off of a Dr. Zooch SLS kit built by Chris Michielssen.\u00a0 As explained in\u00a0a series of posts to his excellent Model Rocket Building Blog<\/a>, Chris modified the kit a little by adding a few home-made decals and changing the position of the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRB)s.<\/p>\n

Note the “flame fins” which attach to the rocket for flight to ensure that the rocket is stable.\u00a0 Chris has painted them to resemble the flames from\u00a0SRBs. Chris describes how he builds and paints\u00a0flame fins in his blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
