As the name suggests, this will be my build thread(s) for my LDRS projects, all 3 of them.
The first, is a scratch built 4" rocket made out of an advertising tube and a pine nosecone made by my grandfather. It was cleverly named the avenger by my 4 year old brother. Looking at the pictures, you should be able to see why... It will fly on 38mm motors likely the H123 for the first flight ( I love that motor).
The second rocket will be very similar to the first because it is also 4" scratch built with a pine nosecone. This one is called Spider-man ( again, it should be evident why)( you catching on to the theme yet?). This will likely fly first on a H148 ( Again, I love this motor).
And Lastly, my most difficult project ever (though not difficult to many people I have met), a 38mm Minimum diameter. Yeah, yeah, I know it's not that difficult, but I've never done a minimum diameter before. I am hoping to fly this on a H669 in youth "drag race" between conman13, blackbrandt, and myself. I say "drag race" because I am too sissy to fly to 10,000 ft. at Mach 2 like the others, instead, I am only going to 4,500 ft at Mach 1. This will be my most time consuming project, yet it will be my last. I need to save up money for supplies and motors before I can begin that.
I should be starting on the avenger later this afternoon or tomorrow. The 38mm MMT will be here in about an hour or two and that's all I need. I just need to run down to the hardware store to get some 1/4" eyebolts for this.
The pictures are giving me a hard time so that will be in the next post.
