Haven't seen any JackHammers posted here yet. Time to start!! Super fun build, I'm anxious to see this one fly soon.

Had to add ~8oz of nose weight. Also, used nylon rivets to help hold on the nose tip - plus it looked really cool.

This sport kit was designed with short duration high thrust motors in mind but it can be flown on most 38mm motors. Tough and stout, this rocket is great for L1 certifications and is even tough enough for a J motor if you dare.

I see you picture i agree with you and i like it. Thanks for sharing the awesome post.
 
My trusty JackHammer had its best weekend ever - I launched it with the NEFAR group in Bunnell, Florida. It sure looks "mean" sitting on the rail waiting to launch!! I used an I218R to get it up to about 2400' and it landed about 75' from the pad.

Due to the "wear n tear" from MANY launches (and rough landings on a bike path, a log, a soccer goal post, et), I broke down and ordered a replacement which just arrived two days ago. I plan on launching this bird one more time and then retire it and start building my next JackHammer.

Or you could do a rehab project like my old Diablo.
 
Flew the Jackhammer yesterday for my Level 1 cert. Perfect flight on a H123W.
I added kevlar sleeving to the shock cord and a kevlar chute protector. Also a low profile aerotech retainer. Paint is rustoleum camo spray paint. I think I'll try an I300T next month :)

Pics are post flight.
