    Rocstock 29

    I am surprised nobody started a thread about Rocstock 29. Well, if they did, I can't find it.

    I took my completed 4x upscale Manta Bomber there with no intention of flying it. Mark at Stickershock 23 made the decals and he wanted a picture. Next thing I know it's sittin on the pad....

    Yes, you are seeing that correctly. The 2 G53's lit first, and just about cleared it from the rail, then the central J401 lit. It was a beautiful flight. Even had a "NASA Roll" to it.

    I even borrowed a 78" chute, but alas the landing was harsh. It ripped the pods clean off. It is repairable, but next time they are coming down on their own chutes. That should be fun, seeing that thing come apart in 3 pieces. Thanx for the great pictures and everyones help.

    I must say that that Manta Bomber sequence is quite cool. Very nice job on the rocket.
