2012-04-21Birdie Rocket / Badminton shuttlecock Flight Don't do THAT again. The eject is too suspenseful at such a low altitude. Not hazardous, just too close to the ground. - Estes 1/2a-3t - D bar A [More]
Birdie Rocket / Badminton shuttlecock Flight Not enough oomph and too much delay. Still a successful flight but far from an impressive one. - Estes A3-4t - D bar A [More]
Birdie Rocket / Badminton shuttlecock Flight Still the best engine for this build. Used it to test the wind and still impress the cubs. A great starter rocket, makes the others look that much faster! - Estes a10-3t - D bar A [More]
Quest StarHawk Flight What is it that makes us try to stuff a c engine in this thine every time we go out? Lost the rocket. Totally worth it. Kids laughed as it went up about twice what the a8-3s did. - C6-5 - D bar A [More]
Quest StarHawk Flight Launched about twenty of these with the kids. The a8-3 gave us some nice height while keeping everything in view. The rocket falls very fast. Only one of twenty rockets had any trouble, when the streamer separated from its mount. No big deal. - Estes A8-3 - D bar A [More]
2012-04-19Scratch Birdie Rocket / Shuttlecock Rocket (Scratch)  Review
I had heard about these and even seen descriptions - in particular, on bsarocketry.com, but none of them really described the flight of them. Hence my two cents in this review.
We all know we can make a rocket out of a badminton shuttlecock or "birdie rocket", here on ... [More]
2012-04-16Quest StarHawk (Kit)  Review
This is an easy-to-build rocket intended for groups. I'm comparing it to an Estes Generic E2x in this review.
Components
The name of the game is "simple-to-fly" with this rocket. Plastic fins, a launch lug that is already molded into the fin ... [More]
2012-04-14Birdie Rocket / Badminton shuttlecock Flight Similar flight but kept a plugged engine. The recovery was the same, just no eject. Had to use pliers to get the engine out though. - Estes a10-pt - Hub [More]
Birdie Rocket / Badminton shuttlecock Flight Goes up nicely! The rocket seems to be a classic battle between thrust and drag. Guessing 150 feet? Well past apogee when motor ejects. Falls nose down, feathers won\'t let it fall fast. You can see everything happen, including eject. - Estes a10-3t - Hub [More]
Quest StarHawk (1) Flight Looked great as it just kept climbing, but too small to find with the overcast day. It did come down , but it was several hundred yards to the East. Hard to contain this rocket if you overpower it! (update-the rocket was great, I just had a very small landing area and misjudged ... [More]
Quest StarHawk (1) Flight Launched in anticipation of Scout launches the next week. Nice and quick departure off the pad, straight flight, easy to track, fell fast. The A8-3 is a good partner for this rocket. - Estes A8-3 [More]
