Valkyries

'The Valkyries'
A growing series of split-fin rockets inspired by BSD Thor.
Valkyrie1 was lost in the 'Orange Grove from Hades' early in 2005,
her successor is quite a bit taller Valkyrie2. Both powered by twin
18mm mounts and balanced to eject at apogee on C6-5's.
Valkyries are also built with baffles and TTW basswood fins for ease
of flying and sturdiness.

I fly Rosie the Riveter
on my rockets...

missed

One of these days I'll let her
rip on twin 18mm AT
reloads, she's built to take it
with epoxied TTW fins...
