Lift off on an H123! Great launch, Dave! Now, just go ahead and just give your credit card number to Lee at Merlin Missiles now...

Your cert level exceeds your IQ

Your rockets become large enough to be your ego

Goofball, indeed.

LINK to the video (8MB). Plays in Windows Media Player. You even get to see the upper section land in the tree.

After watching the video, that thing is *screaming* for an I161W.

Get some paint and decals on that baby and let 'er rip!!!!!!

I was thinking exactly the same thing today. Maybe at NSL, where there's a little more real estate...

My zipper. Only about 1/2" long; I'm torn (sorry) between repairing it and just cutting down the tube. But the coupler is 4", so I could afford to do either.

The retainers performed really well. None are bent, and the nylon spacers didn't appear to take any heat damage.

Cool!

Those fins!! Can you say "barn doors!"?

Congrates on the cert d00d. Great build thread. I hope to start mine here soon.

Yes, many birch trees were slain...

Bus, TRN, Ben, Viz: Thanks, guys!

Viz: What do you have in mind?

I think he was asking what you were going to build for your L1...

 

[mrbusdriver]

Just watched the video...sounds a little breezy.
Textbook flight, with, I suppose, the obligatory tree arrival. Makes it "official".
I just re-read the thread...now you got me wanting to build something!!!
Ain't it great!
Dave

Yeah, winds were kicking up off and on all day. We were 5-12 MPH all day, I think.

Thank you - looks like we used the same motor!

Everyone keeps saying things about my wallet. Should I be worried?
