I needed another simple LPR build for work this weekend so I bought, and started on, a Hi-Flier. :wink:
Don't forget nose cone clay in the hi-flier... it needs it!
Helped Sharon build two 18mm motors, D13 and a D24. Two L3's trying to figure out some ancient directions on how to build these tiny motors! It was a riot. We tried to find an igniter that would fit through the nozzle, then found three copperheads hidden in a liner. They were the only thing that would fit.

I also worked on the avbay for the sustainer of a rocket I bought from CJ a couple of years ago. It's a two stage 3 inch rocket with 54mm motors.
Might get it done for this months Eagle eye launch. After talking to CJ, I decided that it will fly on a K540 Metalstorm booster to a J145 Skidmark long burn in the sustainer. Just need to figure out how to program the PET-2 timer and RRC-3 airstart.
Haha.. the D24's were a favorite of mine in the Estes Snitch. I ran into Initiator 001 at a launch and asked him about it and all he could do is scratch his head.
Just remember the 18mm reloads didnt really match the provided instructions .

This and I found that some of the 18's had to be built with the igniter in place or you would never get it in from the nozzle end. For this reason we always loaded the 18's at the launch site....
Printed some 3D adapters. 29mm to 24mm.View attachment 307401
Received some goodies in Rocket Mail with Hazardous Goods markings....
I assume the hazardous item is the lube?

For future reference you can get the tubes of superlube at Harbor Freight.
Yeah, I know....it was just convenient....couple bucks more to not get in the car, drive to HF, buy the lube, and drive home. Between time and gas, it was a wash.
I'm not in this for the $$, I just wanted to have something fast for this weekend's launch. And the Estes ones would not have made it in time. The person that designed them is on this forum and has the plans available for free download.Print up a 13mm to 18mm, and a 18mm to 24mm.....and I'll buy them from you. I bet others may as well.
