I have finished an Estes V2 with the exception of the nose wght. I have cut the fins to scale and added the pods. The livery is from Operation Backfire. The string attached to the rocket is the CG while it is fully loaded with parachute, chute release, JL alt3 and an Aerotech F35-8W 24/60...

I am aware I have not yet finished the Semroc Maple Seed, however it is mostly in the finishing stages. Which is as interesting as watching paint dry. Also with the fire bans we are currently enjoying there is no rush to get it done. In the same order from ERockets, I got the Low Power...

As soon as I saw this kit at eRockets, I had to get it. There is very little information regarding the kit except that Carl was working on it in 2012. The instructions indicate that some tweaking was required before it could be put into production, which was done by Eric Specht. As you can see...

69KrR4brdyo The Corona is easily my favorite 2 stage rocket. I have about 10-12 flights on a few of the parts of this one. This was my 1st staging failure. I did prep the rocket properly and have no clue why the 2nd stage failed to fire. Being a rebuild, I had added strakes about to the...

This may be a bit of a slow paced build, I am not feeling motivated to rush through it. I did want to do a build thread though, because there is not too much out there on this rocket. The part that most interested me is the open air gap staging. The kit comes with a removable vented body tube...

I have been doing my level best to only be a lpr BAR, but when I had the opportunity to purchase a mpr for the price of a lpr kit I folded like a cheap suit. It is just research and data collection; nothing more. Really, I mean it. I have no intention of using a gram of epoxy or glass...

This design is inspired by the Estes Augie II, plans available from JimZ rocket plans, as well as general discussions regarding gas induction in model rockets. The induction body tube is a rare one. It is from the Estes D-Region Tomahawk that I had left over from a cato. It has been built...

Hello All, At NARAM 56 I flew my Corona and Booster multiple times and the body tube around the top of the fins is showing definite fatigue. What is the general feeling regarding what to do. Do I fly it until the RSO gives me a look like I am attempting to ruin his perfect saftey record or...
