Well, I finally got my new 4" BSD Thor kit built but unfortunately as of yet unpainted. I took it up to the Three oaks launch today and put it up twice on Hypertek. All I can say is WOW !
It took off straight as a arrow and what a whistle it made. It was really cool. As the rocket slowed toward apogee you could hear a loud whistle coming to a slower and slower whistle till apogee. The dual deployment went off both flights without a hitch. Overall I give this kit a HUGE thumbs up ! With fiberglass, chutes, altimeter bay and nitrous tank it weighed 9 lbs. and on a K240 it reached a altitude of 3,938 ft.
