Makes me feel less guilty about not hitting the gym.New To The Sport
WOW!! Nice job. I suspect you have some previous building skills.---H
A supberb rendition! Shows excellent modelling skills! Plus, a perfect introductory pic! Welcome to the smoke my friend! Your life will become richer while your wallet...not so much. Straight smoke and good chutes.
Not with rockets, but I did build thousands of cars growing up...
These are new and very cool. There is so much room for challenges and perfection that is sucking me in! lol[/QUOTE
Give it time you will be crazy like the rest of us. Late nights building and sniffing dope sealer...ah yeah!

That and I probably should find a better place to spray, behind the bar isn't working out,
Magician; This is an enjoyable one...
Beautiful job on all your rockets. Is the chute in the payload bay for storage?
Nope, I kind of took liberties and weighted the nose cone to allow for separation of it separately from the body.
Almost too pretty to fly, huh?
Interesting design, let us know how well it works, and whether the NC drag separates or if it separates and deploys after apogee.
I most certainly will, but you know, as I look at it, I think I may go with a 6" shoot instead in the payload because, the 12" is tight and probably too big. It may be a smarter bet, to allow easier separation...

Thats probably a good idea going with a smaller chute for the NC, is easy for them to catch a thermal and then slowly float away....
Good point...

kgc, Welcome to TRF! Nice builds!
You will find a lot of good folks on this forum and a TON of information. A lot of the posters here are what we call 'BARs' That's Born Again Rocketeers. These are folks that were involved in the hobby back in the earlier days, had put it down for many years, and are now back. I count myself among the BAR ranks.
Don't hesitate to ask questions. Lots of collective experience covering all aspects of rocketry, from MicroMaxx through HPR. Look forward to seeing more of your builds... and flight experiences.
