Hello everyone!

[AidanY]

Hello everyone, I joined the form a little bit ago and I wanted to introduce myself.

My name is Aidan Yu, and I'm excited to be introducing myself to the Rocketry Forum. I founded the West High Rocketry Club during my freshman year of high school. We have done some fun high-power rockets and are working our way up to some higher-performance rockets. Currently, I'm working on some cool projects that I am excited to share in the future.

Thank you for welcoming me, and I'm excited to share my upcoming projects and future accomplishments with all of you.

That's super!

Welcome to the forum, Aidan, and post some pics when you can!

Very cool!

How high-power are we talking? H-I motors I’m guessing?

Yeah totally!

Here are some pictures of a 38mm MD I flew to 7000 feet and a 29mm MD I flew to 10,000 feet, also in my profile picture!

Welcome to the Forum. Greetings from Nevada. What motors did you use?

Welcome Aidan! Thanks for the pics and video. That flight was exciting to watch! It had a little jig at launch, then straight as an arrow. Wonder why it jigged like that? slow speed coming off rail? Wind??

For the 29mm MD rocket I used an I205. We think that the rocket jigged like that most likely due to wind.
