LDRS40 - Goblin 'Event'

[kramer714]

What is a Goblin? From the Oxford English Dictionary

Goblin (Noun) gŏb′lĭn

A) An ugly or grotesque sprite that is usually mischievous and sometimes evil and malicious
B) A shortish 4 fin rocket, typically identified by a large motor relative to the size of the rocket. Examples include PoleCat Goblin, Loc Goblin, scratch built goblins, rockets with goblin like parameters. Not to be confused with squat.

What is the Goblin Event

The Goblin Event will be a 'not so mass' launch of an entire range full of Goblins at June Rocstock / LDRS. Goblins will be launched in groups each up to the safe, and compliant total ISP. Any rocket meeting the requirements of B above can fly.

There will be three prizes for;

1) highest total thrust to rocket weight

2) highest peak thrust to weight

3) Most Goblinish (decided by a board of experts)


If you want to fly in the event, email me (put goblin in the subject);

• diameter
• motor to be used - include total impulse
• rail - or rod(what size)
• type of goblin (I.E. Polecat - Loc-scratch)

Times and details will come before the event.

What do you know … i happen to have a Goblin!

 

[WILDMANRS]

We have a 2.6, 4” ,5” and 8”

 

[mtnmanak]

We have a 2.6, 4” ,5” and 8”

It isn't a Goblin until it is a Wildman 8" Goblin with honeycomb carbon fiber fins, a 4 x 75mm motor mount and you launch it on the cluster equivalent of an N3534!

Tim - we need to do one of these in 12" diameter now

I’ve got a two-stage conversion and my girlfriend has one that may enter, depending on the state of its decorations. Will send an email with details at a more reasonable hour.

Be aware, ours will be comically small standard Estes ones, probably flying on C11s or D12s instead of the HPR upscales. We’re flying for the fun of it, not necessarily the prizes.
