While the Aerotech Initiator is a great flyer and a good rocket for introduction to mid-power, it does have one small problem: the very thin, pointed plastic fins don't do well after repeatedly hitting hard ground or pavement. I should know, I have repaired mine about four times. So, I decided to retire the initiator, named after my baby, Nora and build something new in her honor. Had a Loc 5.4 inch cone and had this crazy idea. I call it my up-scaled Goony Initiator, the Nora 2. Yet to finish is applying the rail buttons and decal.

She has a 38 mm MMT and will fly on lots of different motors. Planning the first flight tomorrow (7/13/13) probably on an AT H242.
