I've been &%$!@# sick for almost a week now, so absolutely no rocket progress on anything.
Anyone have a Kleenex?

Wow, that is pretty wild. Aren't we supposed to hear the story of this thing at some point?Hot bird moves along. Dont think I've posted since I got the decals on.
Full wrap from Stickershock for my current build. Staying active only works for so long. Time to prepare for the inevitableI'm 68 soon going on 69. Stay active, get some exercise and yoouu will be building & launching rockets for a long time.

You guys are scaring me
Why not, they paint the skull and crossbones on their Super Hornets.

Just need to finish the nose art

Just sent an email to the principal of my local high school offering to mentor a rocket club if there is any interest (and not one already running). I have no idea what reception the offer will get.
Sorry to say but terrible launch angle goes against NAR outline I believe. Read code please.View attachment 395729 View attachment 395730 View attachment 395731 View attachment 395733 View attachment 395734 View attachment 395735 View attachment 395736 View attachment 395737
Interesting practice today
Lost 1 rocket to the sky gods (B6-4)
Flash did a magic trick for us (broke into 3 parts )
Amazon never flew...
today was one of those colder days in Texas (55o)
My friend was loading a rocket on an older stand we built for windy days.
3 recovery systems did not deploy so the hot glue fillets were tested and Worked!
I would say 15 mph wind is hard to fly in especially when trying out duration rockets
Ill try to post vids.
+1. NAR code states launch deflection angle shall not exceed 30 deg. from vertical.Sorry to say but terrible launch angle goes against NAR outline I believe. Read code please.
Good sir, your criticism is flawed, we were shooting within angle parameters, i measured that angle my self. Also for our practice we try to land rockets in winds higher than 10pmh but not above 20mph, we also check our angle, I will assure you that the rule 6 of the NAR code was followed and the rockets were shot at a degree in which the rocket was able to recover properly. I only lost my first rocket due to a bad engine, the two rockets in which did not recover properly were due part to the recovery system not deploy properly. I will take note of what you have said, but I know for a fact that the angle you see in the picture was necessary due to the wind factors, and was not in a lower degree in which the rocket was shot lower than 150 above the ground.Sorry to say but terrible launch angle goes against NAR outline I believe.

I approveVery fine photo of my Darkstar Jr. on an H178 DM.
Oops. See edited post.I approve
Please forgive me if I judged your angle incorrectly. Perhaps it was at 30deg or less. I was not there.Good sir, your criticism is flawed, we were shooting within angle parameters, i measured that angle my self.

By the picture angle it appears to be extreme.
Happy flying.
