It is hot. 55 minutes and counting.
I will have a few kits and rockets that I don't fly anymore for sale. There is a built and flown 4" X15 and an unbuilt Estes Saturn V form the very first year they were produced before the fancy color box. Look for the white trailer with the V2 on the sides.
Gary, did you have nose weight in that rocket? I still do not understand why it fell nose first.

I'm not sure that matters. The Estes Cosmic Cobra's nose cone, which uses a rotor for recovery, sometimes comes down point first and other times comes down with the base first. I think that once a rotor like that is spinning fast enough, the gyroscope effect can keep it from flipping over.

Gary,
Aren't you glad there are people here who so very earnestly want to edumacate you, even when you don't even ask?
