Binder Design Samurai (38mm)

[Fore Check]

Some of you may have already seen my thread featuring pics and a flight report of my BD Samurai over in the High Power forum.

I put together a review for EMRR that has been added to their site, available for review here:

Nice review!
I noticed the same wobble when I flew my Samurai on a I200W.
It must have something to do with the center of pressure being in the middle of the forward fins...

I'm guessing it's more of a thrust-to-weight ratio, also dependant on wind speed thing. I had zero wobble on the I366R.


Is that your flight log on EMRR? Too bad on that one. Any pics of your Samurai before the flight?

Thanks!

Hey Outasight, are these pics of your Samurai? I was looking at pics from NERRF-3 and saw these Samurai photos.

Those would be them. You can see in the last pic that the smoke trail isn't straight. Thinking back I remember that the rocket boosted straight, and the slight wobble started right at motor burnout.
And yeah that flight log is mine...
