I did pick up another Pershing and 1.6" Hawk from Ken (Performance Hobbies?) while at NARAM last week.
I modified my 2.6" LP Hawk from a single 24mm mount to a cluster of 3-24mm motors.
The paper tail-cone was raggedy, so I chopped it off.
The mmt was trashed after 2 catos in a row, so I chiseled it out.
Glued in the 3-24 mount.
Repaired to shock cord.
Added 2 oz of clay to nose (above what was already in there from the kit instructions).
Flew on 3 D12-5's.
Sorta an arcing profile into a cruising horizontal glide before deployment.
Perfect floating recovery on a 36" surplus flare nylon chute.
Added 2 more oz of clay to nose cone.
Flew next on 3 E9-6's.
Chris Taylor caught that flight with a digital pic on the naramlive site. I also attached it below.
It went arrow straight up for a loooong time.
I love E9 clusters!!!
Decent deployment, probably shouldv'e went with E9-8's though.
Nice soft recovery again.
