I started with composites in the early 80's and I flew the SSRS E30-8 and the F67-12 in the LASOR-134 sounding rocket. My first orders with Small Sounding Rocket Systems included these motors and...

Seems like a long time ago now ...

My Tripoli "Confirmation" flight was January 1989

.

Since it's 4" in diameter with a payload section my guess would be it's an EZI-65 with the fins modified

Thanks,

Coop,

Here is a RockSim for the OOP Estes Longshot #2128. The Centuri Phoenix Bird used the same plastic fin can. You can delete the booster stage from the design file along with one of the...

Yes, the kit is designed to handle 3.75" long motors in both stages and the E12-0 and E12-6 are noted.

Would a RockSim or OpenRocket file for the ARG T222-24 help?
.

Same size fins will work for both stages with the Jaguar design and using a 5" length of airframe for the booster you will have a margin of about 2 for the stability between the CG/CP with C11...

Sure, here you go. I had named it Stinger 3 Doc von Karbon

I named it after a scratch built 3" dia. rocket I flew at LDRS-8 named Stinger 3

It's an old file ..... shows saved last in RockSim...

I believe it is a DVK (Doc von Karbon) fin can. There were two different styles, one was more swept and the other looked like the one pictured. I had two of those, one of mine was green. Those DVK...

s6,

You could try Epoxo 88 Clear. Aerospace Specialty Products and U.S. Composites sell it in 14oz and 7oz sets.

Mike,

I was one of the 2 customers that contacted you via email concerning the Ventris adapter. I too have a very bad fit on the adapter and can't use it. I wanted to thank you for your quick...

A RockSim file for Blue Phenix Jr. rocket is available on the Apogee website at the bottom of the kit page:

SD,

There is a RockSim file posted on EMRR for the Swarm and Swarm Jr. rockets. If you don't have a registered version of RockSim you can still use the demo version to at least open and view...

Did you intend to reverse the leading and trailing edges of your fins for your design? The screen print below from your RockSim file shows the fins are reversed.

The HI-TECH H45 and EZI-65 fins...

In the late 80's I witnessed a LOC/Precison Motherlode fly at LDRS on a cluster of three Vulcan L750's. I've been a believer in the strength of cardboard rockets ever since .....

I'll ring in...

I was always a big fan of the FSI Mach-1 Dart. A few of mine are pictured including the only launch shot I ever got that wasn't just a frame of smoke.

Another rocket that had claims in the...

I'll second that ..... the silver on your Defender looks great. Now that I see yours finished like that I prefer it to the standard white finish.

Did you mask and paint everything or paint some...

I used the LOCIV for my first H motor flight.

Very nice ..... that looks great!

Have you considered the T80H tubing and BBH cone? Save the BT-80 for another build.

Looks great and nice attention to detail for a scratch built! BT-80 version sounds interesting too .....

I'll second that ..... I like the delta fins too! Looks great.

Looks great ..... nice job!

I've taken a liking to the Rustoleum Metallic paints recently myself. That blue looks great on your Devastator.

I saw one of these at the Hobby Lobby last weekend and should have picked it up with my 40% off coupon. Seems I've seen a few fly with E and F's and they seem to hold up well.
