Still waiting to fly. Maybe this weekend.
Retro Rebel.
First flight on the minimum recommended motor, B6-2
Power pranged and ejected on the ground.
Cracked forward ring, easily repaired.
Second flight, C6-3, the elastic shock cord snapped at ejection.
Forward ring more heavily damaged, but she will fly again!
Good side:

Heh.
What is going on aerodynamically with these models?
I wanted to scratch build something like this but I really do not understand where CP is on these.
Are they basically like flying spools with massive full body fins or something?

I flew mine Aug. 8th at Argonia. (not me in the picture)
The nose section snapped back and broke the top ring of the lower section. Got a new one and fixed this rocket. At the same time, I bought a *new* Rebel kit. Gave the first one (now fixed) away.
It might not be noticible, but when all the glue is good and set, I go over all of the edges with a black magic marker. It was either that or sand off all of the edges. I like the contrast.

Updates:
9/17/22: Launched the Mega Rebel on a D12-3. Straight and stable nominal flight.
12/31/22: Launched the Rebel John on an E30-4 and the Smokin' Rebel on a D22-4. Both flights straight and nominal but two shroud lines on the Rebel John tore out. No damage to the rocket.
Laters.
