Another rocket I'm limited to with launch space. This has to be one of my favorite rockets(stickershock23 vinyls), it was probably the 3rd or 4th one building them, after getting back into this a few months ago from a very long break.... It really flies great, and almost lost it on a C6-5, but that was back in May for naked flight, I've since painted it. But it turned out nice for the 3 blues being different. I ordered the wrong royal or navy blue I can't remember, but it matches up nice with all 3 blues out in the sun, going back thru my videos, I have it! But I used a link bc its too big to post. And it has successfully flown on a A8-3. You are not limited to what you can put in these(you'll know after you test in in the field Openrocker is too far off for these very low altitude flights. It also gives you the chance to work out bugs before you send it all the way up on a E motor. Once you know your rockets, weights, and motors you can fly just about any of these E motor rockets in your back yard!

Thanks. Its really a tough spot. It's at the local high school, and its the far end of the baseball field. And that fence around it is about 8 feet high and normally locked. Last time I went it was open so of one landed in ther I could easily get it back. That C6-5 went about 650 feet away. Heres a Google earth view of where I'm at. I'm at the smaller field up the the left. But looking now maybe ill go over to the football stadium..Anyways, on the 2nd picture it shows the field I use. And where it says "Georgetown lane", is right at the end of that road to the left of the houses is where it went in a C6-5. Minutes after like above it landed in almost my lap. I can't wait to get back home, i have such a better place I don't have to mess around with smaller motors and bigger(motor wise) rockets. I really started building some of these just for that spot I'm using now, lol...But its fun.

:bravo:

Nice flight!
Lots of us are stuck with smaller fields. It is nice to know what works in those smaller spaces.
 
I like BT-55 rockets and B6-4 motors for small flying fields. If there is much wind I'll use a streamer instead of a parachute.
