The Olde Bay Daddy

Ready to fly! First flight will be a CTI F85 White Thunder Nov 16!

Very nice and what a way to spice up a launch.

Are you going to let a shrimp fly as astronaut?

If all goes well, second flight will be on an F240 Vmax, I think at 54Gs, that shrimp would be Gumbo!! lol

Flew it today at MDRA, 3 Grain F50 Skidmark, Straight boost, great flight. Chute was a little tangled but overall a great ride!

Nice! Should be a well "seasoned" rocket in no time.

That is Awesome. I want to make a Morton Salt Rocket someday.

It was pretty spicy! The cloud cover was down around 8-900ft. so it disappeared for a little bit, then came down basically on a streamer since the chute was tangled. And with the nose having 4oz of lead in it, it buried itself about 2 inches into the sod. No damage and she'll probably go on an F85WT next then the F240Vmax later. I really like these 24mm reloads from CTI. Only thing is there are no spacers. so if you buy 3Grains and want to fly 1Grains you have to buy the 1Grain case as well.

Pretty cool Dave! I think they should pay you for the advertising

That would be nice! Or at least pay for the Skidmark I flew it on last month!
Red Glare it will see the F85WT, then the F240Vmax! See if she holds!

They might pay you, in a way. J&D's Foods somehow saw a video of my "Baconator" bacon rocket a few years back, and sent me a big box of bacon swag - a very nice gesture on their part. I love your Old Bay rocket, makes me miss crab poundin'!

Hey maybe if I send Porsche a video of my DX3 they'll send me a new 911.

Nathan: Hmmm, Old Bay sending me a can of spices, or Porsche sending you a car? I think I have a slightly better chance! lol

Mark: It Flies as Awesome as it Looks! (BTW, I have a couple projects coming up Im going to need vinyl for!!)

Flew twice today on the CTI F240 VMAX! Dont Blink!
Jolly Logic AltTwo on the first flight:
Alt: 1608 feet
Top Speed: 171 mph
Burn time: .3sec
Peak Acceleration: 21.7Gs

Second flight I drag raced Nathan and G-Dog:
Nathan: Loc Minnie Magg H400Vmax
G-Dog: Loc Minnie Magg H400Vmax
Me: Estes Big Daddy F240Vmax
Winner? Me first off the pad, and what looked like highest altitude, but landed in the water. Seems the Olde Bay Daddy wanted to go catch crabs! lol

Nice drag race! But I think you had a slight weight and drag advantage over the Minie-Maggs. Next month I'll race your Big Daddy with my red/silver 29mm minimum diameter. With a 3 grain 29mm H410 Vmax it should go 0-1091 mph in 0.4 seconds, and pull 158 Gs.

I missed the drag race, but the F240 was a kickin' little motor. That Big Daddy can SCOOT! Great job!
