What rockets, kits, scratch-built, have you never flown and why? Too fragile? Too much work to risk having it core sample? I've got a few I've only flown once, for several reasons, but only two I've never flown, yet. I've got an Estes IQSY Tomahawk, and a "ducted-thrust" design - both of which I've just never gotten around to flying. The Tomahawk was built when the kit first came out. The glue wasn't quite right, and the fins popped off when a cat knocked it over, before it ever flew (maybe a good thing!). I found some toluene, and "glued" them back on (they won't come off now!). The other rocket is scratch-built and designed to be tube launched. Since the field we launch at is so far away, and I have to beg a ride each time, these two just never made the trip. Maybe this year...
