Down these mean skies, a kat must fly!
Bay Area Rocketry's LDRS special "BAR-None" came in the mail today. I'll get a build thread going. So far it looks really nice. Photo is next to a stock Leviathan which is pretty close in size. Total weight is 41 Oz without recovery or retention. I believe with everything added I can sneak in under the 53 Oz. limit we have on our small field, which was my intention in ordering the rocket without the FG nosecone. Fins are really heavy on this kit though, coming in at 11.9 Oz. I needed to adjust my Sim and it pulled the Cal under 1.00. To remedy this I'm going to cut an unneeded 2.5" off the 54mm MMT and balance out the rocket with a quicklink and eyebolt in the nose. Pics below. The kit is still available for 69.99 with the plastic nose, 99 bucks I think with the FG nose.View attachment 344608 Body tube is thin-walled FG and the kit comes with a decal and rail buttons. I'm planning on a 36" lightweight chute (1.6Oz) and my 3d printed 54mm retainer (1.7 Oz). Anyhow, putting it in the bath now and will try and get started soon.
