Ha excellent.

Really interested in this.

You're in the UK, this may be the only time this is an advantage. Get some klima igniter sticks and tape match from the model rocket shop. Paul will explain how to set it up. It's amazingly reliable, they used it for that mega cluster in Germany and simple to set up. No need to have a relay or...

No easier way that I know. It's 14x14 so I cut 98 squares and stuck them on. Got a photo somewhere, it was fairly mind sapping.

The combination of the igniter sticks and tape match they make is awesome for clusters. Super-reliable and only requires one conventional igniter so no messing around with complex launch controllers.

Finished and ready to launch. Although I'm not exactly sure when that will be as I suddenly have to buy a house:shock: This was my first attempt at a checkerboard, it's not perfect but from pad distance it should look OK. I wanted a colourscheme that would be visible against blue and grey skies...

I used a road cone. Worked well for a 3 inch tube can't see any issues with 4 inch tubes.

External fillets completed, it took most of last week doing 2 a day using 30 minute epoxy with fibreglass micro beads, this makes a massive difference when sanding afterwards. Naked Rocket. Then into painting, fortunately the weather has been decent today, for non-UK folk this was a 3 day...

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll go with rail buttons as that seems to be the consensus. As mentioned above by others, the parachute is below the payload bay/nosecone so what I'm trying to avoid is losing the nosecone during separation. Handeman, I'll be using CTI Pro38 so not much I can...

I've put my build thread up: https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?125093-Level-1-Build-LOC-Shadowhawk

Following the KISS approach here as this should be my level 1 rocket so this might be a bit tame. I've yet to see a build thread for this kit and to be perfectly honest I'll have some, probably daft, questions. I'm pretty much building this standard with a couple of minor changes that make...

Hope not! Mine is planned to be as simple as possible. Started building this week and it will be almost stock built using motor eject*. I'll start a build thread soon. * As in motor ejection of the recovery system! The other way round would be particularly galling given one of the non-stock...

Some pictures from this launch. Prepping for launch: Some flight pics. Nice to meet you on Sunday, hopefully you'll get to fly it on the L next time. I can email you the high res pictures if you want.

Hi Simon, is this just a case of turn up if you want to or do I have to register anywhere first? It would be nice to meet some people to fly with. I've only got low power and one rocket capable of E's (if I can get the fillets finished) but I'd quite like to speak to people with a bit more...
