Eos Light - Reduced length FSI Eos clone
After leaving my genuine FSI Eos hanging on a power line over night, I decided to build a clone and retire the original.  Along the way, I made a few changes.

The original's upper section was BT-56, but the clone uses BT-55, since that was more readily available and is an almost imperceptible change.

The upper and lower airframe sections were each shortened as well.  This makes the rocket easier to transport and less susceptible to flexing during flight.

In the pics, you can see the checkerboard pattern reflected in the chrome trimkote on the fin


Both the old and the new rockets used my interchangeable motor mount system which includes a 3x18 and 1x24, both of which are used in the launch pics below.

Here's a scan of the catalog page showing the paint scheme.


Here are some liftoff shots of the original Eos.
