That looks really nice. You sure you want to fly it?
Pretty impressive from a DIY perspective. I’ve ogled Mongoose kits, but I bet you were way more cost effective.
Thanks Steve, this rocket was going to be for the MMM contest, but I don’t want to put a tail cone on this one, so I think I’m going to build another bird for the contest. Yes, tons cheaper to build yourself, I think I got about $60 in this rocket, eventually when I have the means to track this, I’m thinking a “J” would be cool. I’m also working on making it the booster for my 2-stage 29mm that I built, turning it into a 3-stage, but that’s a ways down the road. Although a free Raven at LDRS would be awesome, nothing wrong with a guy that dreams, right? hehe.
We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
