Cert attempt on a CTI M1560 2 Grain White Thunder this weekend at Red Glare.

Clever idea with the negative space between the fins, I like it. Good luck on your attempt.

Thanks, I really like split fin designs and wanted to do something a little different. I am definitely happy with how it came out.

Good luck!

Well, due to a mix up, and the fact that AMW's pallet of motors is sitting at CTI, I will most likely be flying the 3 grain M2505 White Thunder this weekend to around 8000'. Winds are predicted to be even calmer now around 8mph and sunny on Sunday. This should be a lot of fun!
I weighed it last night, full up and dressed for the party without motor and hardware or Cert3 drogue (which I am picking up this weekend) she weighs in at a comfy 39 pounds even. Within a pound of my rocksim file!

Very nice looking rocket...Good luck on your L3 certification flight!

Love it and the name! If they'll only play the song as you count down to launch! Best of luck!!

CTI M2505 98mm 3Grain White Thunder to 8621ft.
L3 Cert.

Congrats on the L3!!

congrats

Thanks guys I still have to download the data from the RRC3 to get speed, velocity etc.

Congrats!

Woo hoo! Sorry I missed it.

Alright! Congrats on the big L3!!

Congratulations!

NAR doesn't require the recovery system to function as designed for a cert?

Congratulations Dave.

3.6 d. The rocket shall fully deploy its recovery system. An anomalous deployment of the recovery system is not cause for flight rejection if the model descended in a
safe manner. It is up to the judgement [sic] of the Flight Witnesses whether the model descended in a safe manner.

Congrats! I was hoping to be there, but had to cancel last minute...

Congratulations on the L3 and congratulations on finding that nose cone! Glenn and I went back there and looked for it for a while but the grassy crop growing in that field was really thick and we weren't even sure where it came down.
