More MMX action this past weekend.
R6, designed and painted by my 5-year old. She chose the basic parameters (number & shape of fins, nosecone, etc.), and we worked together to tune them in OpenRocket to get the dynamics right.
We also made a little kit of R4 for a friend of ours.
I literally ran it over to his house and 2 hours later he showed up at our planned launch with this nice little bit of work.
Both of these flew very well. My copy of R4 unfortunately took a hard hit on some asphalt but has since been repaired.
