My new Bird

I think I will call it the Javelin. It has everything in it but the chute and it weighs 3.2oz. The MMT is a 24mm, this one should scoot

looks like you will have to paint it a high visibility color to see it and get it back

And hire some kids with great eyes to keep an eye on it. I don't plan to push it until I have it set up for DD and maybe even a tracking system.

What makes the spiral pattern along the body? Some artifact from your layup process I imagine?

Eesh, cramming deployment and tracking electronics in a 24mm body is not a challenge I envy. And you don't even have a hollow cone to put things in

The spiral pattern is from the tape layer i use when I roll my tubes. I use an wrap of mylar tape to squeeze out excess resin. It is actually more than 24mm. The MMT is 24mm but the BT is 33mm. I have a DD system that is pretty tiny and will work with a Quark. The tracking part I have not sorted out yet.

Egg Timer actually has everything I need to so eventually I will build a rocket similar to this designed to see just how high I can fly a 24mm Motor.

Ah, the extra 9mm can make a world of difference

Eggtimer has good tracking stuff, although if you don't want to piece it together, the Missileworks T3 is great too

Great minds think along the same paths.....

The T3 is bigger but it has more range.

Looks like it will go out of sight for sure!!!!

FlightSketch did a dual deployment BT20 Mach1 Alien Interceptor. Altimeters are small these days.

Link to flight report and altimeter?

Looks very cool . Look forward to seeing what it looks like painted and dressed up ! Best of luck with its flight !

Thanks, I am not a great painter so don't expect much. I am sure she will Scoot though. I have a D Blue Thunder reload ordered.

Very nice! It looks fast just sitting there. 33mm would be big enough for several Eggtimer options, even the Classic would fit in there.

I may go with the Quark and a separate tracking unit.
