Even with 150g noseweight, with the cluster there's plenty of thrust. Even if it only goes to 600ft. But man that cone seems heavy. I'll swap in a nylon chute.
I'm not _too_ bad about waiting for calm days. But it seems like it's always windier out on the runway at Bong than it was at home.
I love the look of the clear fins. Maybe I should have looked harder for 1/16", rather than 1/8". But would it be stiff enough?

I don't see any fins on that one! Or is it lexan and trick 1989 photography?
It's an optical illusion, the plug in fins were black, they just happened to line up with the dark background, that's why I love this picture...
I downloaded Rocksim and I'm reviewing the simming and my mini test flights. I made the core fins a bit larger on the final than on the mini prototype. I'm thinking I might be okay with 2-3oz, rather than 5. We'll see
And I'm set up for 1/4" rod.
I've got some bottling and kegging weekends before I can get in a test flight.
With whoosh poppers I would not be concerned unless the fins are thin cardboard poorly attached with a hot glue gun.
