Scratch Built "Ultraman Earth Saver" First Flight

[Frank Broughton]

Had fun building this rocket, did not know how it would go - so I flew it in its primer only status:

On the home made pad:

E9-6 - nice flame:

Close up:

Perfect recovery:

Here she is sitting next to my primed only Deuces Wild for size comparison. My launch controller is the tool box in the foreground the other toolbox contains engines, wadding and igniters:

This rocket flies GREAT - nice slow realistic takeoffs. I can't wait to see it with a white lightening load.

Teen Rocket Nerd - the close up shot was just a crop of second picture. Used a decent 5 megapixel camera so had some pixels to work with.

Will be painting this rocket Red & Gray now that the humidy is coming down here in Western NY.
