Hi All,
My buddy Corpse turned me on to this place, lots of good reading here. I've been flying rockets for a few weeks now and love it. I thought I'd attach a picture of my current fleet if that's ok. Here's a break down from left to right.
The Rain Maker is a kit that I got off of Ebay last week and I just finished it up, it's got a 24mm "E" motor mount in it but after flying Corpse's Executioner the other day I'm thinking we'll stick a C11 in it to see how it flys and maybe end up with a D in it. I was flying my Blue Ninja with E9's the other day and lost it to the trees on the 3rd flight, I couldn't believe how way the %#&@ up there it was on an E9....LOL
The next one is a Wizard (18mm) that the clear coat is still wet on, we plan on flying it on Monday (weather permitting).
The tall one in the middle is an Aspire by Apogee, it is designed for a 29mm motor but I put an Estes 24mm mount in it since I can't find anything 29mm up here easily. We flew it on a D12 the other day and it popped a fin on landing, it flew awesome, I fixed the fin and it's gonna get an E9 stuck up it's but Monday.
The Zenith II is one that we flew last week too and it got stuck in a tree, luckily we came back and were able to rescue it later. I flew it on a B6 as a single stage at first and it went perfect. Then I stuffed C6 booster in it with another B6 and it got stuck in the tree, it's a pretty cool 2 stage rocket.
The Patriot on the right hasn't flown yet but it's a copy of Corpse's with a 24mm mount in it plugged for a D motor. His flys perfect and I expect the same out of this one.
Last week I lost a Blue Ninja on an E9, my Astra on a C6, and my Heatseeker on a C6. We've got a pretty good area to fly, but there are some trees and the lake's not very far off (my Heatseeker is in the water.
I've got a Sizzler, High Flyer, Guardian and a 3 stage Commanche in the works right now and when they're done (at least the first 3) I'm doing an Executioner with a 3 24mm cluster in it! Corpse thinks I'm nuts...LOL...He don't think it'll come back after the first triple "E" launch.
Sorry to be so long winded, I just thought I'd introduce myself and show you my current fleet.
