The TOGinator is being refurbished to fly again on a 30 motor cluster:
27x Estes D12
3x AT G64 White Lightning
800 Ns J cluster with onboard video
Going for its sixth flight Saturday, 11/19/11, at the CMASS launch in Amesbury, MA. Has fired 131 motors in the previous 5 flights.
Rocket has a fin design based on the FlisKits TOG, is 7ft tall x 4in diameter and flies at about 14lbs.
First 3 pictures show wear and tear from previous flights.
4th pic: Painted tail section with West 206 slow Epoxy tinted black and sanded. Done to repair, harden and color tail section in one step.
5th pic: Painted with second coat Epoxy, this time tinted black and thinned with 10% alcohol by weight.
Looks good from a distance of at least 10 feet as brushed on anything gloss shows many defects on a worn complex shape. Now has a harder surface than previously.
More info and previous flight pictures at www.bpasa.com
Will be fired with cluster box which will push about 110A at about 12V (1300W) to launch this. Powered by 14.8V 5Ah Lipo (4S 40C) battery, 200A Ford relay (triggered by a smaller relay to isolate from club launch system) and 10awg power leads.
