It did not mock gravity in any way. In fact it was a demonstration of gravity. There were Micromaxx that went higher

And the proper name is Greg Garder's Flying Tetrahedron of Doom.

On the other hand.

It took three years

And despite all the science to the contrary

Project Franken-Rush flew

On a EX "J-300 and something" long burn white. I got 5,279'

Duct tape, trust me the sudden rush performs best with tape.

Glad to hear you had a great flight!

And that everyone had a great time.

That's funny you remember the name that way. I was LCO on its second flight and all I remember was saying HEAD'S UP !!! HEAD'S UP!!!! HEAD'S UP!!!! when it flew...

Maybe that should be its new name!

 

[Hospital_Rocket]

Actually I prefer Jim's name.

"Holy Crap...Duck!"

Especially considering the second flight.

2nd page on Sunday. Pictures 565 and 569.
The motor was an I200, by the way. Gotta love the huge flame those big 29mm motors make.

 

[terryg]

Love it, I like the I200W also, a great reload.

Heyy, both PYH and Liberty got good launch pics of my AT Barracuda that was covered in duct tape. (G77)

 

[Thrasher]

I launched two rockets on Saturday:
An extended Warloc in USA flag colors on an I284.
A Hangar 11 Harpoon on a K950.

No one got the Warloc on film. (It's so photogenic too!)
Liberty got the Harpoon.

 

[Brian -- PYH]

I may have missed the flight of your Warloc, but I did get it preflight:
https://printyourhobby.com/gallery2/v/Rocketry/NERRF3/Sat/NERRF+3+-+122.jpg.html

I also got the Harpoon here:
https://printyourhobby.com/gallery2/v/Rocketry/NERRF3/Sat/NERRF+3+-+307.jpg.html

I am thinking I might have to get one of those Harpoon kits once I finish up the other rockets I have started over the past year. Seen a couple Harpoons fly llately and they look nice

I missed your shots of the Harpoon. Too many to view? Thanks. If Bobby's not making more, you can buy mine. :biggrin:

 

[bobbyb]

The 5.5 Harpoon is still available as is a 7.5" version...

Also have the X-15 and SA-14 ARCHER

Glueless rockets were selling [ and flying ] well at NERRF..

3 fin " dia went off on an I357T.... I think it was about 3# loaded....

I357T + 3# rocket = FAST......

All NERRF Glueless rocket orders will be shipping this week....

I finally got my photo album uploaded.

Great pics & descriptions! It was really nice to be able read about each one. I almost felt like I was there!

 

[jflis]

Thank you. It's a bit of extra work (and explains why it can take so long to get an album up) but I think it's worth the effort to give *some* sort of descriptions

My biggest problem is not remembering rocket names, motors and owners...
