I'm in boat mode right now but we had a nice time at Red Glare in the spring.I shot off a K Motor and busted a mile for the first time with my Wildman Darkstar 3. My buddy didn't fare so well. He needs to lay off the high impulse stuff...

[Andy Greene]

WOW

As much as I hate to say it, great shots considering the $$ he just lost.......

Fortunately , my wallet is my waiver so just G-Motors for me

Congrats on the Mile btw - fricking awesome -

That Darkstar is a really nice rocket and that sparky motor looks sooo cool .

That K burned FOREVER .

[Andy Greene]

Never did update how it came out -

Built it for Kaytlin to fly when she is here

Dont mind the overbuild on the thru wall fins, they where long so as Ferrette would say- I wanted em right....

Papered balsa , internal fillets of course.

 

[Chilli]

Sweet! Nice job on the build.

 

[Bill Gibson]

Nice looking scratch built missile ya got there Andy! I WILL see you and Randy at the BUC BLAST! Are they gonna allow low power stuff to fly as well? I had a coupla 18mm jobs I wanted to maiden!! Still like playin with the small stuff too!

 

[Andy Greene]

Will be GREAT to see ya Windex - looking forward too it .

And dont worry, Im gonna fly some small stuff too .

Thanks Mike- overbuilt on that one is an understatement......

 

[Ray Sametz]

Nice lawn dart Andy. Just messing with ya. RRRay

 

[Andy Greene]

Thanks RRRay , built it for the kid outta my parts pile, flew it once on a soft motor to make sure it didnt do that or worse

and parked it till she can get down here and fly with me.

 

[Bill Gibson]

Coupla little guys....the first one is made by Custom Model Rockets....id never heard of this company.....got it on Ebay for 9 or 10- bucks! Surprisingly decent quality for the price! The 2nd one is a retro repo kit offered by Semroc of an FSI Penetrator...I remember building one of these way back when I was 10 or 11 years old and it flew real good! Not quite finished yet....ive got a real urge to build that new Estes Little Joe 2 kit...looks SWEET!

 

[Andy Greene]

NICE !!!

Cant wait to go have some fun.

BTW - You dont happen to have any 18mm cluster centering rings do you ?? -

I have an itch and almost everything but the cluster rings-

Im thinking 4x18mm

 

[Bill Gibson]

Andy, I don't think I do, but I will look! Did I read that right? A 4 STAGE ROCKET?? Yewwwwww are a..............................MADMAN!

h34r:

:lol:

 

[Andy Greene]

Cluster - not stages

I dont hate myself that bad -

Yet

This really got me thinking about it - cept 18mm instead of 29mm -

hell I can barely afford to fly 1 / 29mm at a time
