Started the Rocksim design phase early August. Got this done in time for Midwest Power. Flown on K535.

Love that Cricut machine!

I'm not usually a fan of short, fat rockets but that looks amazing! It has a unique style and great look. I really like it!

Thank you. But, it is not my design. It is an upscale of a currently unavailable, very small rocket from Odd'l Rockets. I did stretch the body tube a couple of inches to give me better stability otherwise a close representation of the original, I think.

Thank you again!

A very nice upscale!
Good to see the Squatty Body flying again!
 
How much weight did you add to the nose?
It has been a long time now since I built this thing so I cannot remember that. However, my Rocksim file tells me that I put in
"Nose Cone Mass (54.5 oz BB's + 9 oz Epoxy)". I also flew it dual deploy using a zepto mag in the nose cone and a Chute Release.
