BSD Intrepid Question(s)

[tmcqueen]

Can anyone post pictures of the individual sections of an Intrepid? Do you have to use an altimeter, or can you use motor ejection with it?

Here is the one I built. I put an altimeter and a timer.

Thanks for the contact, Johnnie. His prices for kits are the best I've seen. I wish I would have waited before ordering mine

RFVB, Thanks for the pictures - looks great! I still couldn't quite tell if it's possible to use motor ejection when using the 38mm or 29mm section as a single stage.

After reviewing the page I sent you to I realized it didn't cover much of how the altimeter bay was put together. With the timer in the fin can I was able to leave the airframe unobstructed. I alsways use motor ejection for a back up of my altimeter. I can't remember if the Intrepid comes with an altimeter bay set up because I usually scratch build one into every rocket. Look at my Der Big Red Max and my Horizon page on how I set up altimeters.

To answer your question...Yes, you can use motor ejection in the Intrepid.

P.S. I added some more flight pictures to the Intrepid page
