EO3S Egg on 3 Sporks(Spoons)
I saw this in Sport Rocketry March/April 2007 by Brian Nessing.
Intrigued, I built one last spring, 2010. I never got a pic of it but I flew it until the spoons broke and I could not fix it. I loved it. It did not fly very high, 60-80 feet at most using an "A", "B", "C" motor. It didn't make sense until I figured out that it spun faster on the higher power motor which prevented it from gaining too much altitude. I used the lowest eject time so the motor popped out, making it lighter. It would spin down, slowing the decent. It doesn't require wadding, parachute or streamer.
I need to find a stronger spoon for my next EO3S.
Build one and have some fun.
Daniel
