Trying to fix it Thirsty. Works when I use my other laptop. But will not work for me on this one.

Nice flight! That was a great boost. I love to see huge rockets fly.

 

[David Schwantz]

thank you

Beautiful! How big did that main chute have to be and was that home made too?

 

[BABAR]

Nice!

how did fins hold up?

 

[David Schwantz]

Fins during flight were fine. Landing snapped one below the bottom CR. After looking back I put a lightning hole right through the break. It is all repaired and is ready to fly again on Saturday the 10th.

Chute is 12' and is a Top Flight Cross fire chute as is the drogue.

Had to look up lightning hole. Had different meaning than I expected!

I really love how this project turned out and also the other similar foam projects mentioned in the thread. If It looks like I can do it affordably and finish before an October launch, I want to try to set up my own foam lathe and make a foam rocket. I have started a separate thread on it.

Hopefully a few people who participated in this thread can help me out with some advice. Thanks!
