Red River Rocketry "Merlin" ready for flight

[NeilD]

In my foray back into building and flying rockets after a 20 year hiatus, I just completed the Merlin from Red River Rocketry for my "back to the hobby" inaugural launch. I picked this one up in 2012 when I went to watch a local model power launch in the area. John Dyers was selling his kits for his Red River Rocketry company. I'm really glad I picked it up at the time. I was a fun build and John really did well on designing these kits. I'm hoping to launch at the DARS HPR in January.

Nice Rocket. I've been flying one for a few years. About 2000' on a G76-10.

That's a beauty. Hope to see it fly next month! I'm sure John will be tickled pink to see it!
