Some pictures from my build.
It will be launched sometime next month when the weather gets better, on a G67R-6.
The red/orange stripe should have been at the nosecone but whatever hehe
More pics coming.

Good build. Great craftsmanship. If it flies as good as it looks, you have a winner!
I see you live in the land of white winter and green winter. I have visited your fine country on several occasions!

Rocketry...........an exact science.......but not exactly !!!
Thanks! It should fly on a G but it wont be fast, hopefully my 2-meter rail will help it on a straight path.
Nice you have visited.
The swedish winters can be great but i defenitly prefer the green summers though hehe. Crazy admounts of snow here right now. Alot of the trains/subway here in Stockholm is canceled, busses delayed, so if you visit again you should come in the summer
I have. On one trip I went through the Volvo truck factory in Umea .[did I spell it right?]
Being so close to the Arctic I mentioned to my guide how cold it was in July. He replied to me ...."we don't have a real summer here, only white winter and green winter."
O C at night and 60 C during the day.
I did not know I was going to be that far north and the 24 hrs of daylight also was a surprise !
Keep building and flying!

adron is that you?
Thanks
Dont know exactly what its called in english, its basicly a thick piece of paper. It was a pain to cut but it was the only thing i had at home that i could use
A small kitchenknife with a serrated blade worked pretty good if i remember correctly.
It would have been easier with cardboard or somthing like that.
Nice looking rocket, great job on the finish.
Wow it looks and sounds cold in Sweden!![]()

Never seen a tripod used that way to launch. Ever any burn on the legs from the motor? What about stability? Nice looking rocket too by the way!
Its nice but a bit heavy for a G mayby. Me wants L1but its not very easy to get here in Sweden with the very small number of people that actually got L1/L2.
Hopefully someday !
Gary,
I have only used the tripodrail once but it seems pretty stable. The rail has a steel "spike/point" in the end to put in the ground so it does not move. I did not notice any burns or marks on the tripod after launch and it didnt budge/move but i dont know how well it would handle large HP motors. It all fits into a bag with the rest of the launch-equippment. Portability is nice![]()
