The first one is a rocket I named after my wife. The second is my flying pencil. The third is an oddroc I call the UFO. All scratch built. The UFO has had multiple flights. The last two pictures were taken by Nadine at our Octoberfest last year.

Great picture! Love that rocket!

Thank you SkyFire!
Yes, Harry Spears who is the motor vendor (themotorman.net) has a couple of large Nikon cameras with huge zoom lenses. He did a fantastic job in capturing the rocket just after clearing the rail. I don't know how he did it because that K1200 motor made that rocket disappear super quick!

EDIT: I also liked the photo so much that I had it enlarged and framed for my office.

That's the one! Nice!! These rockets fly really well. Very straight and no rotation that I could detect.

I am not tired at all of seeing great pictures! It would really be cool if people also posted the Camera info! But even with out it, these are great photos!

More more more!

Thank you!

I've posted these elsewhere on the forum, but what the heck. From last summer, my first BAR Launch. My granddaughter is so into it at this point that she's pretending she is a rocket!

And a chilly December day, my second BAR launch, my son pushing the button on his rocket:

This little blue/silver one seems so weak in the midst of this thread, but this one means a bit. Was a rocket I launched a ton as a kid until it could fly no more. Rebuilt it recently (new tube and parachute) and put it back in the air. Just a BT-50 tube and plastic 3-fin unit. Seeing it fly again was pretty awesome (B6-4). Recovery by another kid with the same last name 30 years later, more awesome.

Also, for more motor.... Estes Firestorm on a C11. Had a C6-5 go boom in it, so I cut out the blown apart fin can (tube was ok) and repurposed the BT60 booster we had for it as a new fin can/motor mount. Flies great on fat Cs and Ds!

 

[NOLA_BAR]

Estes Saturn V on 4 E12-6 motors. Looked great going up, not so great on the way down. Chutes got tangled. Some damage, but nothing too bad. Way overbuilt, will easily be fixed.


Estes MDRM on CTI H110. Great flights on this motor.
