It doesn't come out so well on the reduced version on the USR page (nor what I posted in the Weightlofter review in the Kit Reviews forum) but in the original size image, which is HUGE thanks to my friend's Canon 20D digital camera capturing the action, you can see that the clip whip is just starting to fall away from the rocket almost like the gantry in a "real" rocket launch including ignitors still sparking and even the plastic caps coming out of the motors!

The second in-flight image is severly cropped & probably slightly reduced as well.

And both launch photos clearly show 4 of 4 motors clearly ignited!

Update #3 is a relatively minor change resulting in a HUGE improvement to the USR kits MAIN page.

Thank you to Lance Alligood.

Update #5

This page is considered a prototype of things to come. Please comment.

Please send your list of "Recommended Motors" for this kit.

Express a motor as:
AT 24mm 40 E 15-7 WL

There are several things we want to try.

I'm liking the hopefully-not-going-to-be-called-prototype-much-longer face card designs. Slick

That's a good looking orange/white/black Banshee too!

 

[XAVIEN]

I like the new layout of the USR pages. Jerry, I'll email you a few photos of my Interroc when it is done next week. Since you already have the BANSHEE and MOSQUITO, Lance you're such a "glory hound"

I looked at Lance's picture of his Mosquito and laughed a little, I also painted mine yellow and red. Although my Banshee is different, purple and silver.

It is good to see that the USR pages and being updated with actual photos, you're definately going in the right direction Jerry.

I'll get photos of my Sonic 2200 to you as they come along Jerry. The one of the part will show a slotted booster tube, but that's cause I didn't think of taking that picture before starting.

Oh, I'll be building the Sonic 2200 to hold my XAVIEN XDSRT-1 time for staging.

Jason,

I would love to see pics, especially since you are using a USR product with a "great" little timer from me

Have I been submitting pictures to Jerry? Yes.
Did I ask (or beg) to be on the USR website? Absolutely not.
But do I like it? YES

<soapbox>
I have no problems being an outspoken supporter of a company/product/service (and not necessarily rocketry related) where I have had consistently & repeatedly excellent experiences. U.S. Rockets & Jerry Irvine are IMHO certainly worthy to me.

I also feel that my support in submitting pictures to manufacturers, helping proofread reviews for EMRR, being an active contributor to TRF, & being a club officer are the very least I can do to "pay it forward" in the hobby. I encourage others to give their time, support, money, & knowledge in anyway that they can too. Plus, it's a WHOLE LOT OF FUN!!!

Pardon the slight OT post, but it would be great to see pictures of any & all applications of Steve's/XAVIEN's products...particularly in USR products

 

[XAVIEN]

Lance,

You have such a great sales pitch

BTW, the reason I bought my BANSHEE was because of the review you gave it

Keep up the positive thoughts and the great product reviews!

Steve

Hey, thanks for posting the picture of my Banshee -- she's the "purdy" orange, white and black one!

If it works, may I recommend customers buy them?

Jerry

 

[XAVIEN]

Jerry,

I'd hope your rockets work and you recommend them

Seriously though, you can definately recommend them. I will be releasing a newer version of the XDSRT-1 that uses a G-SWITCH or the "PULL-PIN" option, it will be up to the user.

I would urge you to make a device that "makes a Piston Stager work" without fuse.

I would urge you to make a device that "makes a Sentra SRB n work" as expected.

Ogee Quad SRB too!!

Jerry

 

[XAVIEN]

Jerry,

I'd love to make some elctronics for this, of course I'd need a sample product of each .......

Can't blame me for trying

After I finish the ARG-2 launch in February I will "have some time" on my hands. So I can definately look into this.

And you give me a "special price on the first X copies of the devices.

Jerry,

It's a deal, how does 50% cost of parts ONLY sound. I will eat all the design labor (PCB, software, users manual) and assembly labor for the first few dozen. How does that sound?

Like you told me before, "Gottal love the small business"

Steve

Do I smell a partnership???!!!

Custom electronics for USR Kits!

I can feel my credit card heating up already!

Karl, I think you & I were maybe separated at birth. We are on the same wavelength entirely too much...

And the only loser I see in this potential future partnership is the thickness in my wallet. But that's a good thing, y'know!

There might be a few things "in the works" already, who knows

I also forgot to mention earlier that I'd be willing to beta test any designs that come out on the positive side of this venture. My services are cheap (read: free) & I give very good constructive feedback!

Maybe something for the upcoming kit "mini-Slipper Dual Deploy". That would be cool to sell in every hobby store.

An Entry-level Turn-key 18mm Dual deploy rig....

Talk about an ESTES Slam-Dunk!

I hope it works out!
