    Pemberton Low Power Kraken Build

    What I did for the tube fins was to fill, primer and paint the insides of the fins 1st. That allowed me to hold the outside of the tube and just sand off my finger prints when done. Then I used rolled up paper to "mask" the painted inside of the fins. The external tube lines were completely...

    Pemberton Low Power Kraken Build

    /oZ3y6VPVup8 /la75-n5eqPg The maiden flight was on a D12-5(no flight data) The second flight was sweet, but I need a slightly larger chute. One of the tube fins took some damage on landing. The locking motor mount functioned flawlessly.

    I got her finished up in Rustoleum Metallic Black and Metallic Red. I put her up twice. Once on a D12-5 and again on a F24-7. I will get a youtube video up at some point and flight data for the for the F24 flight.

    Modified Estes V2 Center of Gravity Question

    I suspect that if I were to start to spend that much money on rockets, my wife would prefer I get back into buying more firearms.:D

    Modified Estes V2 Center of Gravity Question

    That is something that I have thought about. I think I've been bitten by the V2 bug.

    Modified Estes V2 Center of Gravity Question

    Thank you for the additional data to look at. The farthest back I have read that someone balances their V2 at is the boattail/bodytube line, but I would only be willing to try that after A LOT of successful flights with progressively less nose weight.

    Semroc Maple Seed Build

    The kids did have fun. My little one had the most fun stomping around IN the creek with her rubber boots on.

    Semroc Maple Seed Build

    It would be nice, but I am confident that the seed was GMO, so I have to back to the original supplier.

    Centering Ring Ventilation for Gap Staging

    I built an ASP WAC Corporal w/Tiny Tim Booster. It has gap staging. The kit comes with a bodytube with a vent hole to slide into the open air gap between stages. I've never used the sleeve and left it wide open. It has flown 5 times with only 1 failure to ignite the upper stage. That...

    Semroc Maple Seed Build

    We launched this on Sunday/7th of May and I have to say the seeds work as advertised. The kids were excited to chase there maple seed and I like the kit very much. However, I should not have launched it and I knew it before the button was pushed. It flew with less weather cocking than I...
