Way Cool!
This rocket is done. All I have left to do is take it out on a full moon night and repeat the oath. I will have to wait to "Stuff the biggest motor in it" because the L935 would bust our waiver here. Maybe the K300 to 10,033ft., but that would be pretty close too.
Today I put the "Stickershock" holographic decals on Blackstar:
Tried to get the lighting right for the effect:
Added a coat of future but not sure I like it, might clean it off and spray clear.
This has been one of my longest builds, taking two months to finish. Just checked and there have been over 900 views, hope you found something here to help with your next project!
Thanks for the update Wayco! Also agree very good shot of the Dark Matter motor.
Two shots with a K, time for a new Letter...otherwise you better buy a hood !
Wish I could have seen it in person, from the video seemed to be really quick off the pad . Did Sharon and Mark fly theirs ?
Kenny
Mark was not able to get off work.
I gave my RRC3 to Wayne so he could fly his Rapiditty Rocket and didn't have time to get in another one to finish my Blackstar avbay in time. But I'm taking it back for Rocstock and will fly it planned for Sunday am.
Wanna drag race????? :grin:
Second flight of the Blackstar went off at GHS last weekend. Flew on an AT K456 Dark Matter to 5088 ft.
Sharon got a good shot of it as it came off the rail:
Yes I do.. but have to finish mine first .
What motor are you planning to use ?
Kenny
Hey, that looks a lot like our second flight, at LDRS in July. Here's ours on a CTI K454 Skidmark:

Mark at Stickershock hooked us up pretty well too...we don't have good glamor (aka porn) shots of the rockets before they got all dirty, but my boys showed off our new builds before the launching started on Friday:

We weren't as lucky with that Sumo as we were with the DS3. The motor cato'd and all we came home with was the nose cone. I suppose that we chose an unfortunate name for that one. :y:
By the way...did I just hijack a otherwise perfectly excellent thread? If so, my sincerest apologies. I just could not resist, seeing the similarity between the two launch shots.
Here you go.Wayco, loved finding this thread...Lauren and I just started building HER Blackstar. You would not happen to have a Rocksim file for this rocket??
