and some days you are the bug...
Well...no pics..
But all I have to say is:
"FSI F100, Balsa and Paper Shower"
Nice looking models.Well, here's mine. The first pic is both my full size Phoenix (a paper rocket of my own design, and a really good flyer) along with a mini version I was experimenting with.
and some days you are the bug...
aww jeff that sucks. that happen yesterday?
A successful swing test does not a stable rocket confirm...
But at least it's flying record matches the real thing.
FC
At least it didn't explode and destroy the pad!
:y:
OH NOES!
How bad was the damage?
I used that combination in my TK-40 Midget in its only flight so far, and it worked fine. The fit was so snug that I didn't need to tape the motors together. Sort of like Pop 'N Go staging, I guess. I tried to tape them together, but even a single wrap of cellophane tape was too thick and I couldn't get the BT-5 booster on all the way. So I skipped it and went without, which worked out fine. The motors were still butted up against each other, with no gap.I had the same problem with my Beta. One of the guys I was flying with mentioned that I could lessen the possibility of this happening by poking something into the sustainer engine and scratching some of the propellant away to expose the fresh propellant. It doesn't take much and I've never had it happen since that first time.
