I tallied up an order for $747.82 worth of LPR rockets and motors for our after-school rocket club - it should be a fun year!
Estes support rocks. I sent them an email with some pics last night and by noon today they had already processed a warranty claim and are shipping a new rocket and motor. Should be here in a week or so. At least I get more practice with epoxy again.

They didn't cover the retainer?
That looks very cool. A great many leds. What battery, and for how long will the battery last.
I love the i245 green. AT Mojave Green is my favorite.
Nice tubes!
The red LEDs use less energy for the same brightness since the wavelength of red light is longer than the other wavelengths and thus has less energy. Does that sort of make sense?
Eric, your i55 was good as well. How high did your go?
That thing is over the top on steam punking.
I believe the steam punk theme is sometimes suited more to be called cast iron punk.
But I guess the cast iron and steam era were one and the same.
Any plans of doing something in a larger scale?
I think you would real good at it.
FPV flying an EasyStar for the first time, a LOT of fun! On a low-wind da,y not too cold, great day to fly. Using a 6 gram Eachine TX03 Camera/Tx powered by a 3 gram 150 mAh 3.7V lipo, and Eachine VR D2 goggles to record. No audio. The first minute or so was by eye, to do the climb and to work out the rudder and elevator trim as it had not flown in about 2 years and with a new model memory.
The flying went so well that the 3.7V 150 mAh lipo for the camera/Tx died before I could land! Good thing was it was coming my way anyway and I saw and landed it without any problem. For the future I'll run the TX03 off of a 3.7V tap from the 2200 mAh 3S Lipo pack. And also will bump the TX-03's output from 25 milliwatts to 200 milliwatts (that is a big reason for some of the signal loss as the model did not get that far away. And many of the video static moments were wth the house or ground between me and the model. That is why when I saw it go from solid video to 100% snow, I realized the video battery had gone dead.
That's just a small block...HP?
Noooo, I do not own that house! I am fortunate enough to be able to fly there.
I wouldn't have waited so many years to try FPV, and drive a 1999 Hyundai, if I had that kind of $!
