Here is the RockSim file I came up with. :D Enjoy Steve

YES! PLEASE!

Most likely the crack we heard was the liner being spit out. I don't think we were quite far enough away to be outside the shock cone by the time it transitioned. It did exceed mach 1 though! :point: That was a very lucky snap of the shutter! :jaw:

Chris Cain Prep of his Doppler Shift & Lift off on it's way to 12,812' (CTI L640 Dual Thrust)! Anyone else fly theirs yet?

I cannot believe no one has replied to this thread! Giant Leap has done it again! (Sound Familiar) To clear things up!! 1. Chris & I PURCHASE our rockets from Giant Leap! 2. Kent, Ed, Chris & I are all good FRIENDS. 3. They want our HONEST opinions! 4. We WON'T pull any punches...

True Story! In fact Chris also "Planted" one of his smaller rocket's in my corn field! :y: He had to dig out the nosecone with a shovel! Absolutely no scratches in the paint! The shoulder on the other hand we had to heat up to reform it so it would fit into the airframe. He paints all...

That is one BEAUTIFUL rocket! :eyepop: :w: I hope you can make it to Kansas for LDRS XXX! I'd love to see it in person & especially the flight! Wish my rockets looked that good! Great Job! Thanks for sharing.

Me Too!! This is what I came up with. I'm using a 6/32 Stainless Steel machine screw. about 1 1/4" screwed up through the bulkhead in the av-bay to the nosecone, where I installed another bulkhead in the nose that has a 6/32 "T" nut in it. Not much more weight in my book. But, I ran...

I was struck by a full sized Chevy truck walking through the parking lot @ my work! Driver was doing Aprox. 18-20 MPH! Darn near broke my back! Rocket building has stopped for the moment. Until I can get moving around better. Undergoing physical therapy, pain pills & numerous other...

Well here it is!:wink: Magnaframe Mass = 15 oz. Dynawind Mass = 17 oz. Change in Mass override

It is a Beautiful rocket! That belongs in everybody's arsenal. Although complex in assembly, If you follow every step in the very detailed manual, It's not that hard! The manual is very well laid out with instructions & pictures of every detail. Kent told me that the manual was the hardest...

Good Idea!

Thank You!:handshake:

You are absolutely correct! Why would that alter your decision to buy a kit from Giant Leap? I just wanted everyone to know that hundreds of hours went into the design & manual. I copy & pasted from the bottom of the Mariah kit page. (violation)? They asked me not to publish any...

Sorry you feel that way:confused: I guess you will just miss out!

AMEN Brother!! No they don't want copycat manufacturers. I copy & pasted verbatim the bottom of the Mariah page. I do have the complete RockSim file & assembly pictures. I Have been asked not to post them just yet. I will honor their request. IMHO the Mariah is the most innovative...
