Launched a few with Ron.
USR Hammerhead Sounder, C11-5
Madcow Mini Patriot, D12-5
Loc Nano Magg, D12-5
Madcow Mini Jayhawk, E12-6
Loc Cool Spool, F15-0
The motors in the Jayhawk and Cool Spool had massive CATOs.
The video should be entertaining.
Should be on the Ronz Rocketz You Tube channel and the "Updates" thread here in a day or two.

Welcome to HPRUnexpectedly got my L1 ticket.
So I filed the paperwork, loaded the H, and SENT it
Now, it will remain nameless and "unfinished" forever It achieved its goal, from here on it exists solely as a pleasure craft.
Congratulations on your L1 nice photoUnexpectedly got my L1 ticket. Left in the morning with plans to launch a high G for airframe testing, with a goal to do the cert flight at a different launch in the near future. I was talked out of that plan (rather willingly) by some really smart people at the launch. So I filed the paperwork, loaded the H, and SENT it. I can't say THANK YOU enough to:
- My friends at CRASH and in the general Colorado rocketry community. Such an amazing group of people, all willing to help but none willing to not make you learn. They didn't demand that I fly the cert today, they just made it so fun and relaxing that there was no reason not to. And yes, I'll keep working on the recovery, guys.
- The LOC team, for the awesome, fun-to-build, and (most importantly) resilient LOC IV rocket. It had 2 absolutely gorgeous flights today with minimal fuss in between. What a great rocket.
- All of you in this forum, for teaching me much of what I needed to learn to build the rocket, and for giving me the confidence to keep at it and achieve something cool. I can't wait to learn more as I march toward the L2.
Here's a photo - I was my own photographer so I feel pretty lucky to have gotten this. The lack of any adornment on the rocket is due to the fact that I really was there to test the airframe. I intended to name it, print up the decals, do final paint, etc. sometime in the couple of weeks after proving the airframe. Now, it will remain nameless and "unfinished" forever It achieved its goal, from here on it exists solely as a pleasure craft.

I've heard, you know, through the web... ... that you might be able to warm the can in a bath of hot water, or in the sun. Or even an oven (with supervision... Just so you know... don't try a microwave... just sayin'.Took the Warhawk out back to spray the Rustoleum Army Green paint onto it. The can clogged, not the nozzle, the can.
But I'm not complaining. The can was bought May of 2018, left over paint from the X-Wing Alpha build.
