The FINAL launch of Mean Machine.

[video=youtube;jrExGGBiFuo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrExGGBiFuo[/video] After a handful of launches, I have decided to retire Mean Machine due to the fact the a replacement rocket is hard to find since they no longer make it. So I gave it one final farewell flight. ENJOY! :smile:

Good flight and recovery, it looked like you might land in the river...

 

[5x7]

Nice, what was the motor?

 

[SaturnV]

Good flight.

Cool video, even more impressive was the video skills while running!

Nice flight, but why retire it? You can get parts easy from estes.
anyhow, you could always step up to https://www.asp-rocketry.com/ecommerce/Tall-Boy-Model-Rocket-Kit.cfm?item_id=584&parent=10
In the "tall" configuration the E15 is a hoot.

LOL. when you're by yourself, filming and running after your rocket gets to be a challenge

The Tall Boy looks IMPRESSIVE! I'll have to build it one day. Thanks!

You can find these things on a regular basis on ebay.

Build it from this file I made. Sorry no decals yet but it will get you close. I took the measurements and weights off of my recent build (Jul2016)
