Yes, but remember it is the smaller Titan .. 4" main body tubes and 6" payload. I'm using it to work out the details before I attempt the big'un again. The Proton will be the real deal .. 12" x 14' x 140 lbs or so ... a 4" main motor (M or N) and 6 -54mm booster motors. yehaw! :) Steve
Hey Rick! I got my parts for the 'mini' Titan IV and most of the parts for the 'big' Proton D. I should get started in earnest this weekend so getting both done for the 'Nats' should be doable. If I can swing the cash, I plan to fly the Proton and my DragonShip on Commercial Days .. I like the crowds! :) The Proton will go on a 75/7600 "M" and 6 "I-205s" or so. I hope to do the Dragon on another Sparky M2200. I'm getting giddy!! :)

Well Rich, just tell YOUR wife what I tell MINE-- "Honey, I was doin rahkets afore I was doin you!"
I wish I could make the winter nationals.....it would be just the thing to kick the winter blues up here in the frozen North. But my wife has already told me, we're not going to Florida for a rocket launch, before we go for a family vacation!
