I'm still working in my Mercury Redstone Project, but i was working in parallel with the Astrosmurt Project, I start to build a prototype to see if was feasible, but i colored with sharpie marker and i was very happy with the result and i will let it as final version 
.
In the open rocket the stablily is 0 Cal, but few days ago i read a thread about high drag desing help to get stability and the astrosmurf desinged his rocket with alot of drag, so i performed the swing test with A8-3 Motor i seem very stable, so i change to B6-4 and still stable, finally i try with C6-5 and still stable.
The first fligth i use the motor A8-3, but cause the high drag it hasn't time to deploy the chute, fortunatelly has just a little damages, that was repaired in 5 min., then we flew it whit a B6-4 motor, the launch was great !!!
My 6 year old daugther loved it and has the idea to load his Smurf plush, i told her we'll do it after the test flights and i told her that it'll be in freefall, so she told me, i have an idea we can put it a parachute to have a slow fall :y: the kid's mind don't have limit, we used to limited them. the more experiences they have more ideas they have, i'm a very proud daddy
So the smurfed flight is scheduled for tomorrow with the whole familly !
o.k. less bla bla bla and morre pictures and videos
