Performance Rocketry Competitor 3

Flight

Another flight that beat the Rocksim simulation by a large margin--have had to crank the Cd in RS9 down to 0.40 to get the simulations inline with how it's flying. I attribute this to airfoiled fins, airfoiled rail guides (SCR), and the Aeropack tailcone motor retainer. Solid, quick boost right... [More]

Performance Rocketry Competitor 3

Flight

Awesome first flight--outperformed Rocksim simulation by 23%! Arrow straight boost despite 15+mph wind. - CTI J360 Skidmark - Tripoli Vegas [More]

Performance Rocketry Gizmo

Flight

Great, fast boost without weathercocking despite wind, nosecone popped at apogee perfectly, then the chute got tangled and it came in hard--not fixable. - J740G - Tripoli Vegas [More]

BSD High Power Rocketry Thor

Flight

Excellent flight, and my first with this motor (AMW 54/1400) and using AMW/ProX reloads. Thanks to that CTI pellet, the motor was at pressure before my finger left the launch button. Nice mach diamonds in the exhaust--very satisfying flight. RRC2 Mini performed the DD perfectly once again. -... [More]

Perfect motor for this rocket...solid boost, arrow straight, visible the whole time (barely). - KBA I550R - Tripoli Vegas [More]

Performance Rocketry Gizmo

Public Missiles Phantom / X-Caliber

Flight

Exhaust plume not very 'black', and the thrust not very punchy--I'll stick to more avg impulse motors in the future. - H112-M - Tripoli Vegas [More]

LOC/Precision Graduator

Flight

Love the Redline--great match for this rocket--perfect L1 cert motor/rocket combo - H165-M - Tripoli Vegas [More]

Edmonds Aerospace CiCi

Flight

Weathercocked horizontal into land shark mode at about 250' AGL--good thing it only had a 3 second delay! Still put out a great flight after ejection. - C6-3 - Tripoli Vegas [More]

Apogee Components Blue Streak

Flight

Excellent first flight. Needs a longer shock cord than stock--nosecone dinged one fin's leading edge. - B6-6 - Tripoli Vegas [More]

Mercury Engineering Grave Danger (Kit)

Review

Brief: A simple mid-power 3 fin, 29mm MMT, stubby rocket. I believe this rocket is meant for those "graduating" from the Estes low power and want the next step up in materials and capabilities. My 9-year old daughter chose this as a birthday present and as her first mid-power... [More]
