That's a neat looking rocket!
By the way, I vote F44W to D21T to D10W with onboard timers. MOAR POWER! :wink:
Evil twin - cool.
The spiral is vinyl automotive pin stripe (super cheap on ebay)
Depending on the day the first launch will be powered accordingly (super calm day this baby is going for the stars )
I do enjoy seeing the deployments over sheer altitude though so i may take your advice
I'm with you there; I always like interdigitated fins. How about a not-so-evil step brother with forward swept first stage fins, rear swept sustainer fins, and second stage fins that look like a K against the body tube? Something very roughly like this:The forward and back sweep between booster1-booster2-sustainer is cool!
To the moon
I see an A8-5 in your future!D12-0 - B6-0 - B6-6
Lost the sustainer this day - we believe it landed in the lake - I had a very small chute too - still drifted way too far -
looks like a rebuild is in order
I was thinking more stability issues. You have plenty of tail plumage, but you are also going to have a lot of mass with three motors in the tail. In the rockets favor, it is a very long rocket. It’ll proooooobaaaably do fine, definitely going to ge a heads up launch, the mid section booster is going to stage high and be hard to track.I lot of drag is fine by me - as you remember, the first sustainer was lost to the cloud gods
