The Potter Rocketeer

[MClark]

I just received an email with link to The Potter Rocketeer.
Signing up for LDRS I was put on the list.
Very nicely done.
Club and LDRS news, historical article with a kit review of a rocket related to historical. Plans for a rocket.
Reminds me of old model airplane magazines.

I'll agree with OP. I normally ignore most newsletters, but I was surprised at how good a read it was and I read it through.

Great work to your team...it is very much appreciated!

Thanks!

I gotta admit that when I saw the title, I imagined a rocket made of fired ceramic. At least you wouldn't have to worry about what the eject charge would do to the body.

I worked on ceramic nose cone for a high fast rocket. Resists heat and erosion and is radio transparent.
Shrinkage upon firing is a problem.
It’s more durable than you would think, if it doesn’t hit a rock it probably won’t break.

That's funny. Of course, and its probably apparent when you reading it, but the real story is that our club field is in Potter, NY.

I really liked the design on the Ocelot, so I made a BT-55 downscale. Still needs the finishing touches, but the paint is done. Assuming it survives it's maiden flight this weekend (composite D), it may fly at LDRS.

 

[EXPjawa]

Nice! I'm kinda stoked that someone actually built one of my designs. Here's how I wound up finishing mine:


If you do bring yours to LDRS, I'd like to get a pic of it with the original.

Was able to launch today, went well. Nose cone got a little banged up, not sure if it hit a fin or what.
