As I have been telling the kids, it will be an awesome flight or a spectacular failure.
Thank you!Happy to hear it went well!
Thanks, it really was.Awesome.
Thank you for your kind words. We had a great team of girls, some great donors, and an incredibly skilled craftsman that built our motor.Word up. Binder worked his magic. Give him the reins and send that bird up next on a big M. Obviously he knows his $h!t. That thing is a beast. Work it Binder, make next months' burn epic. Blast that thing into the tropo.
Congrats to all and Binder. Your student class has an exceptional teacher/s. Kids these days are seriously devoid of all practical hands-on real life experience. You have provided a great service to them. Wouldn't be surprised if one or more of them ends up working for Elon. This is exactly what this country/society needs.
Mad props.
And it was!"This is going to be cool or it's going to be REALLY cool."
Thanks, Mike. It has been an awesome experience for all involved. I'm glad you convinced me to do this. Okay, it might not have taken much convincing, but thanks for the crazy offer last summer that tarted the craziness!As an observation, Dan is a great teacher. We should have more like him. Seeing how well his students interacted with him was inspiring. Congrats to the Silver Crest Rocket Club on such a great project and flight!
edit: gotta love when JUST your motor's mass fraction is 42%. Those 98 cases are thick, and those nozzles and bulkheads are heavy!

Not to distract from this thread, but here's another flight with one of your 98mm cases:
Cool, thanks for sharing! I've moved the Dragonfly vid to youtube.

That's a great photo thanks! Just a pencil thin flame, interesting....
There was an accelerometer onboard, right? Let's see that thrust curve...
I'm inspired enough that I intend to make up a 76-1G motor this week. Logical geometry is a pair of half grains, each 2.5" long. Assuming I can get it to burn fast enough, it's essentially the perfect motor for 4" FG or Canvas rockets at small East Coast fields.
I need to find the G-wiz software, probably should be available somewhere online.
