New Guy's Onyx + Minie Magg Build

I did my L1 with my Magg. I highly recommend it. It was heavy enough that that it didn't go too high, so recovery was easier. It's a sweet flying rocket, and much bigger in person than you'd think.

I noticed you have a keychain cam on there,mind if I ask how you attached it?

I used a 3M Command strip and a #4 sheet metal screw into the centering ring.

Nice idea Jim. I need a better way to attach my camera. I usually tape it to the rocket but it sometimes peels paint off when I take it off.

I've used it twice, and it worked well both times. Although I didn't get any video the seond time. :sad:

Finally launched them yesterday, after the weather cancelled the first attempt a couple weeks ago.

That's my scratch built Ion Disruptor. The build thread is here.

Nice shots!

Very nice. I have been hearing the name Mini Magg over and over and over. I should maybe order one and join the club. I really want to experience this shock you all speak of when I open the package. It looks like the kind of kit I like a lot!

It really is a cool rocket, and nice canvas for a custom finish job.


I got a lot of comments at the launch.
