Redwood and Pringles Redemption

[Willie]

I needed a little Redwood and Pringles Redemption after the maiden flight of my first attempt at building a MPR from Pringles cans.

That build did not end with a happy story...

I purposely decided to not to post the second attempt as a Pringles build, for fear of publicly displaying my incompetence to build a flight worthy rocket.

I did however use the original nose cone that I turned, and the Estes motor retainer (because I am cheap). All else found its way into the trash.

The pics above clearly shows a change in the design. It separates in the middle, and has a built in baffle.

It had a maiden flight today at DARS on a F40-7, and went up very straight to about 1200'.

Now it has earned some paint for the fins. The rest will stay "Pringled".

It was a nice flight.
