Evel Knievel's Rocket
S1 E6:
Creative Arts has been commissioned by the Tennessee Museum of Aviation--home to one of the best historical aircraft collections in the country--to build the Skycycle X-2, the rocket used by Evel Knievel in his most famous daredevil stunt. Knievel used the Skycycle to attempt an 1,800 foot jump across Idaho's Snake River Canyon. Creative Arts will bring this flying machine to life, focusing on the streamlined fuselage and minimalist cockpit, the fighter plane-inspired nose and tail, and the signature paint scheme that matched Evel's flashy personality. The team will also be building President Kennedy's Resolute Desk for the retired mayor of Tampa.
