Yes, each one will be hugged - and other stuff if you want.

Thank for all of the comments everyone - looks like there may be a market for this when it's done.

Awsome work bro, my buddy Godaking and I are very interested in getting in on this jet pack, however we were wondering if you would sell just the rocket if possible?

Hey there - got some work done! The bottom of the side canisters is complete but the pics sucked so I'll have to reshoot it. But the Grapple Base is/was complete. Unfortunately I mistakenly cut 12 grooves into the top instead of the needed 16. D'oh! I'll fix it tonight but here's a pic of the mistake for now.

Ande here's the whole thing together.

The collar does not go down into the teeth as it needs to be lengthened but there is a hole to accept the part.... Guess it doesn't matter as the teeth have to be cut off :(

Enjoy!

awesome!

Looks spot on! So what's the idea of this launcher? Does the rocket exit from this grapple? These 18 grooves is what 'locks' the rocket to the pack?

Brilliant work man. I'm scratch building one from sintra and your stuff is half of my reference next to the WoF templates for measures. Big fan here :)

Wow, thanks for the vote of support.

Actually I am referring to the "Rocket" as the Grappling Hook or Grappling Device - as it is clearly not a rocket as it is commonly known. I believe that the original separation is just above the metal collar.

Good luck on your build - can't wait to see it finished.

Cool beans! Tooth problem is fixed. I lopped off the old ones only after I created a new ring and made sure it was totally correct. Turns out that the definitive and accurate count is indeed 16.

Old One:
