Okay, the sticky at the top of the featured project forum states that no project is too small so with that in mind here's mine. The vitals:
4" Diameter
7'2" long
54mm MMT
10~ pounds on the pad
K550
5300' AGL predicted
HiAlt45k
Adept22
Okay, so it's not a mach-busting, waiver-tickling or "HOLY CRAP THAT'S HUGE" kinda rocket but it's mine and it's the biggest dog-gone motor I've ever flown. I don't have a huge budget - hey, I have 2 kiddos in private school. What can I say? So this is big for me. The name originates from my daughters science teacher who is very good and quite a character. He is constantly giving kids the "Hairy Eyeball" so I thought what a great name for a rocket.
Originally flown as my L2 rocket on a J350 to only 1920'. Almost lost it in a corn field (that's an epic tale) and just recently decided it was time for a new paint job.
Can't wait!
