The Comanche XR9 is showing part of her color scheme!
The booster section is nearing completion, and has received it’s first coatings of paint….also is sporting the American flag on the fins!

Fresh from the workshop, Here I am holding the Comanche XR-9C rocket. All the hardware is in place, it is now a complete rocket. For the next couple of months, some more internal detail work left to go as well as the painting of the rocket left to go.
Cornelius and the Comanche XR-9C rocket…
Maiden launch is set for October 2013. Comanche joins Nesaru XR-6 as a member of my Level 1 high power rocket fleet!
Here is the design concept. Looks like the one!

Now that a couple of successful flights of Nesaru XR6 (despite the slight issue of the recent launch), I have gone to work “full steam ahead” on Comanche XR9C.
Work on finishing the booster section is about 70% done, and it’s starting to officially look like a rocket.

The maiden launch of Comanche has been pushed back to October 2013. Delays in dealing with wintertime issues with Nesaru XR6(and potentially Nala1 XR2DD29) forced me to place construction of Comanche on hold until all issues were solved.
With this delay, I have missed the window of opportunity to launch on the appropriate field (big farms) until after the fall harvest … which is when the fields will be available again.
Keep watching the Comanche Launch Vehicle category for updates on Comanche’s progress throughout the summer!
