    3" Black Fly Nose Weight

    Good question, great rocket! I have 13 flights on my 3" Fly, it's a favorite for sure. I use the WM nosecone so my amount of nose weight will be different. I have flown down to ~0.8 calibers of stability in OR without issue from a long, 8' rail in calm winds. Most flights right at 1 cal...

    Fiber Max

    Anybody getting into HPR to save money might want to re-evaluate their hobby selection. Turns out my time is worth something too. There was a bit of labor in building a 4" fiberglass rocket with nomex fin skins. Knowing the chute will pack easily in the NC and land the rocket without damage...

    Fiber Max

    You can follow the chute sizing chart here: https://www.spherachutes.com/decent-rate-chart For our launch site at over 5k' and my dry weight of 8lbs + the spent 54/1706 case weight of 1.3lbs I'm right at the lower end of the recommended weight range for an 84" chute. My FiberMax is built...

    Fiber Max

    I now fly my FiberMax with a custom ~90" ULTRA Light Spherachute. That's a big chute, but I fly at high altitude launch sites with hard, rocky ground. The ULTRA Light *easily* packs in the NC. I've also used an 84" regular Spherachute and that was a tight fit (but it worked). I have a number...

    AT K375

    Fun motor! I bonded the grains into the liner with Glue All Max for my 40G flight. Make sure you put the Warp9 grain at the bottom!

    38/1320 hardware usage

    Awesome motor, one of my favorites, especially when you can find the reloads on a WM Black Friday sale. For me the 1320 case is worth it even with only one reload. I have flown mine a handful of times, the next launch will be in a minimum diameter WM Blackhawk38 that I built just for this...

    MAC Black Fly

    Here's my sim file. I saved this from Open Rocket, so your mileage may vary. Heck of a rocket, definitely put the main in the NC and DD it. Get the upgraded WM NC, and expect to need a little nose weight. My favorite rocket in the fleet, for sure. It will handle any motor you can cram in...
