Its flown many times, does great from a A8-3 to a C6-5. My fat foot just stepped on it one time, and luckily the ejection baffle saved it. I got a size 15 foot..lol. Its still an18mm motor of course, and I added a about a 10" length of body tube with a coupler so its about 34" high rn..Soon as its fixed and ready to fly, ill post videos on here. It fly's nice, one of the better rockets I've owned. And those ejection baffles work wonderfully. I have them on a few of my rockets. So back in 2013 when I got back into it. Bought a holesaw kit that goes from 3/4" to 5" in perfect BT tubes sizes. I bought Estes coupler packs, and starting making my own. Ill get back to that soon too maybe. But stepped up to making my own parachute protectors since I got back into this 5 weeks ago or so from idk how many yards of orange nomex I got got off ebay for 7 bux. So I'm making a few sizes then then attaching a clip swivel to it, and make it usable on all my small rockets with just a few seconds of unclipping it, and putting it on the one your gonna fly next. Saving me tons of $$ on more baffles and wadding. But hobby lobby sells the Pro-Series II wadding for 8 bux you get 200 sheets? I use like one sheet square on my Alpha III size, and one and a half of the precut lengths they give you for my Cherokee-E. Not sure about the Big Daddybor BT-80 size, prob gonna use protectors for them. Check around the LPR forum and look for my threads about getting my collection back, its right on the main forum LPR forum page. Here's some pics..
I'm going to get an Altimeter soon, so I don't have that data. But give me a little and ill weigh it, it just still 18mm if you want that info for yourself. I have a Super Big Bertha too, I'm making a booster section for right now, Its wild. I'll post that later today or 2morrow once I get the fins done. Printed out templates off OpenRocket last night for that, gonna cut and build today. Might make 2 sections, one in 24mm for E and a spacer then for D's but only use one at a time. Then the D12-3 will basically be for the ejection event. Then maybe one in 29mm to give me wider range of motors but am concerned about a composite booster to a blackpowder motor, so..... I have it all and plans for both, already mocked it up, so I'll have info on that. and the Rocket is already built, so its a thinker for sure. I'm just waiting on CR's too. Soon as I get a laser cutter, things will be better for my builds.
