R2D2 on Loki J820

[rrobe99999]

Hey guys, I just wanted to share my latest accomplishment. I converted a 1/2 scale R2D2 garbage can to a flying model. He needed lots of nose weight to achieve stability and weighed in at 18lbs. I made lexan fins and bolted them to the bottom CR with brackets. The motor goes all the way into the NC and serves as the coupler. An altimeter blows off his head at apogee. The head and body come down on their own chutes. He had a sucessful flight on a Loki J820 to 795'.

Awesome is all I got to say. Good work on that R2D2.

Recovery descent was a bit fast with a damaged fin bracket upon landing. I will repair and us bigger chutes next time.
