Hi folks,
My kids and I have started building some Estes kits with hopes of shooting them the next calm day we get. I'm sad to say that I can't find a mom and pop hobby shop anywhere in the state. We ended up buying our rockets from Hobby Lobby. We got a Spirit ARF, Star Orbiter, Super Nova, and another small one that I can't recall at the moment. I've got a Jolly Logic Chute Release on the way to hopefully make recovery easier.
As I was attempted to profile the fins on the Star Orbiter and the Super Nova, I was focusing on keeping the material removal equal and try to keep it symmetric. I had the thought of futility of that when we plan to hang a keychain camera off the side. Surely that blob taped to the side overrides any aerodynamic accuracy of my fins. :lol:
Thanks for the great information.
