My custom build Muppets Beaker Rocket! I took one look at Beaker and felt I had to make him a rocket...plus he's a scientist, so that just makes so much sense! Still a work in progress, but what a fun build!
3/24/15 - Update: Added felt, card, paper details and hair. Looks great!

First test flight of Beaker rocket (scratch build). Used an A8-3 since rocket was fairly light and I wanted to keep it close. Used a print out of Beaker's face on the rocket for now. Rose nicely straight up with a very slight spiral. Went about 120' (estimate), fell for a bit after apogee and ejection was a nice crisp "pow!". Rocket landed fine and unscathed. Next steps will be to add on better eyes, etc. as well as hair and then fly on a B motor.
