EDIT: SOLD

Parts List Used During Build:
- Carolina Composites 54mm carbon cloth based tube, 34” long booster tube
- Carolina Composites 54mm carbon cloth based tube, 9” long upper airframe
- 3 fins .130” thick carbon plate (from ACP)

Construction:
- JB Weld for external fillets
- 1 layer of 5.7 oz. plain weave CF with a 4.0 oz. fiberglass veil over the carbon cloth. Laminations were done with Aeropoxy, which was then post-cured to 210 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Fin can was painted with Dupli-color engine enamel primer and Chevy Orange paint.
- .250” single vent holes drilled between the upper airframe and booster section and .125” single vent holes are dilled in the booster and upper airframe.
- Dry weight of the rocket is 2.32 lbs.

Why selling:
- Local fields do not support the altitudes this rocket will get to on max motors
- Currently less interested in minimum diameter and more interested in on-board video
- Free up space/funds for other projects
- I will donate $25.00 to Marian & Mark Hayes cancer fund once sold

Bottom line:
- I have >$325 into the rocket, asking price is $220.00 cash. I would prefer to deliver this rocket locally if possible before I go down the shipping route. I can deliver the rocket most IL, WI, and IN launches such as QCRS, TWA, WOOSH, Prairie State Rocketry, etc… If I am unable to sell the rocket locally, I will let you all know once I am ready/able to ship and will also be able to get you a quote based on your zip code. Interested international customers would need to pay for actual shipping cost. As stated above, I will donate $25.00 to Marian & Mark Hayes cancer fund assuming the rocket gets sold.

Please send me a PM or email to hprjf AT aol DOT com if interested.

Thank you,

Justin: Very nice build. I am not interested, but which altimeter did you drill the sled for?

Good question, it was built for an Adept ALTS-25 and a Raven + Power Perch, both attached to the one single sled.

You located in IN?

I'm located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. If you are interested, I'm sure we can work something out.

Edit: Just saw your email and I sent you some info back.

FYI:
Anyone looking at this rocket be advised....Justin builds premiere projects.
You would be hard pressed to find another built better, or with more attention to detail.
I have seen his projects personally & they fly wonderful.
He's been at it for quite awhile and this one would be a proud addition to any fleet!
I doubt you could replicate this for anywhere near his price.

I will second CJ's comments having seen many of his projects. Justin is one of the best rocketeers and builders going. Buy the rocket- you will not be disappointed.

Rocket is sold, another donation sent to Marian & Mark Hayes cancer fund...
