Thanks, four "E" engines + plaster of paris exaust deflector = lots of sparks!!

The main reason for my response was the amusement at a Pringles can rocket, but the sparky launch is cool too!

Thank you, you have to love the 3" diameter tube. Works great as a modular payload lifter, it can loft ~1/2 pound to ~1000ft. plus, I can use the bottom two cans as a booster stage for lofting other projects. I got some video from a camera inside the rocket that is very neat to watch, and plan to use this rocket quite a lot.

Is it exactly 3"? That is awesome.

A lift-off at yesterday's NEFAR launch. I'm really bad about not taking notes and worse at remembering who flew what. But, I think this was a Level 2 Cert flight.

It's a 3" O.D.-2.938" I.D. or so tube (I don't have calipers), very strong for what it is and can take a lot of force.

That's great, I might have to try that. Also, great launch shot!

It was starting to get dark, so even though it was just plain Jane Black Powder Motors you can see a bunch of Sparks shooting out.

I should actually go through all the video files I have of the flight and put it on YouTube.. if I had more time.....

A few launches. From left to right: Maxi Alpha on E9-6, Mega Der Red Max on F50-4T, G-Force on G78-4G, Birdie upscale on D12-0.
