Ooh! Is the ceramic bell shaped nozzle included in the kit, or is that an add-on upgrade?

 

[Antares JS]

Any chance of a cluster version where the pods separate?

 

[emmah]

There'll be a 12" diameter version for the Anti-Gravity Group?

I can do a cluster version, separating is totally up to you

Eric,
If you would like the ceramic bell shaped nozzle (aka flower pot) you are more than welcome to it. One caveat, you'll have to deal with my wife as it's a part of a set she likes! Good luck with that!

It would be impressive air-starting those pods after a nice coast…. Just sayin.

Now I need to see the Menard's guy pitching a special on vacuum optimized nozzles. (I lived in Wisconsin for 10 years and the Menard's jingle is burned into my memory.)

What?! Menard's hasn't yet opened their Oakland store??

I just did a scratch build that is quite similar (not as big, or FG…) but mine is a dual 24mm with rear ejection…

Wildman has the prettiest fiberglass!!

Rocketry Warehouse used to...

Fiberglass that actually ships is the prettiest kind.

The Estes Gemini DC had rear ejecting dual parachutes. That one always jammed one chute, came in fast, stuck the nose in the dirt.

I think airstart motors in the pods of this one would be cooler.

A beautifully-finished rocket! I'm a bit surprised you didn't go with 29mm, though.
ALMOST too pretty to fly. . .
If the gold decoration is done via decals, who did them for you?

I took it on its maiden flight at the beginning of July on a couple of D12-3’s and it was a near perfect flight…went perfectly straight up, at apogee, it didn’t arc over…just “stalled out” then tipped over and popped the rear chute…needed one size bigger chute - nosed in a little harder than I would have liked…but I think moving up to E’s or 24mm composites will definitely be happening next flight…

Did the gold foil decals myself with my daughter’s Cricut machine (also how I did the flames and lettering on my profile pic

 

[emmah]

Cricut's are pretty useful for decals.

I have one, but I don't like that the company who makes it can brick it over the wire if they want.

My first one died on me, and instead of sending me a RMA, they sent a replacement, asked me to put the malfunctioning one back online, and they bricked it. Stupid waste of resources.

I continue to be impressed, although the three-second delay (even with twin motors) seems appropriate - any idea at what altitude apogee occurred? What does this rocket (without motors) weigh?

Thank you for the Cricut idea. Even so, your gold lame' is very well-done - beautiful finish, again!
