Pics of a 3" mailing tube rocket build

[KDRaven]

Just some Picts of a rocket I built for hp use, it flew on a J289 CSI for its first flight, Rocsim cacluated over 6k' and it was just a speck in the sky when it flew.

fnished photo. added canclled stamps and called it "going postal" and I did not mean to upset any Postal workers that might be involved in rocketry. I built it for a J motor that I had that was part of a factory recall that I did not know about when I bought the motor second hand. It turned out that the motor did just fine and sent it up to over 6k' just nicely.

I see that the white tube ring rocket has a massive cluster! What is the yellowish white stuff tapering to an end from the motors to one igniter?

Oh. I figured. I knew you guys in Britain use quickmatch a lot, but that looked nothing like it.

I get carried away with the tape sometimes.
