BANG!

[John Galt]

After having this curb-side find sitting in my basement for about three years I decided to act on it.
This 7.5" dia. body tube just screamed to be made into a rocket.
I had the nose cone 3d printed, ⅛" through-the-wall fins, and a 38mm motor mount.
The black cord is my attempted humor for a faux fuse.
An H123 or H225 will be a perfect fit.
Hopefully the skies will be clear and the winds calm for the maiden flight this Saturday.

Thanks for the pictures.

Looking forward to the flight report! Hope it doesn’t resemble its namesake too much!

I still remember the Suicide King….that didn’t end well.

The flight was perfect...the recovery...not so much.

What happened?

 

[Hobie1dog]

thin kevlar string fastened to the motor mount? so it pulled it down to the top motor mount ring?

What happened?

Bad name choice.
