You guys bringing this thread back up is making me itch to build mine. But I have three builds going right now. A LOC Expediter, a Bomb Pop that I just washed and am starting next week and I'm guiding my girlfriend on her L1 rocket, a Madcow Super Batray. I'm thinking this X-Celerator would go great with a L1000...
I haven't flown Rapiditty on an L motor yet, but Thrustcurve says that an L1000 would come off the rod at 91 fps and get over 9000 ft. That sounds great to me.
Yeah that's an interesting question there, Wayco. And I would absolutely love to launch duelling X-Celerators. There are two things holding me back.
1. I'll be helping run the LPR launch probably most of the weekend. Depends on if I can get away or not.
2. Biggest motor I have right now is an AT J425 red, which will push it to a measly 1,200 feet.
I'll bring the Finch, prepped and ready. If for no other reason to give Rapiditty tetanus from all the rust. If I can get a break from the LPR launch, and I can find a motor with more oomph, you and I can put on a show.
A J425 isn't even fairly fast. AMW has a few 54mm motors, but are asking a Premium price for them. Not that I blame them, considering current availability, but I probably have more in stock than they do, so I'm not desperate. Let's see how it goes, not like I don't have plenty of other rockets I can fly....
