After taking off a few years from the hobby, I'm jumping back in! The project I'm starting is a rebuild of my Sky Pirate Ver 2.0 which was fully documented here:
https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/blue-bruiser-build.135244/
My Sky Pirate V2.0 in the build thread above was unfortunately lost on its first flight at the Tampa TRA field in February of 2018. I imagine its still hanging up in the tall cypress in the swamp.
Flight video here: https://www.nefar.net/Gallery/2018-02-TTRA/Sky-Pirate-2-L850-Jeff-Millner-NTSC.wmv
Shortly after losing the rocket, I had ordered replacement parts which I had placed in storage. The main difference this time is I won't be fiber glassing the blue tubes as I'll be trying an oil based sanding sealer.
I'll try and work quickly as the club is renting the Port St. Lucie fairgrounds for a launch event in May and I want to fly it there on an Aeortech L900DM.
So here we go with a quick pic of the parts. Hope you enjoy the build!!
