No worries there , there should be 'on board' video and plenty of others. It still has a long way to go yet, the shakedown flight will be here in Fl at the end of summer, then hopefully/maybe at the end of the year on the big motor in Alabama. no rushing this stuff .

Its been a fun ride so far, its a wonderfully addictive hobby. Just when you think you have a good handle on it- another variable tosses you a curve- and you learn from that lesson and move on and grow, then you take the next step - and an entire new group of variables is out there to learn from.
I thank you my friend, I miss racing boats and one day I will be back- but for now Im good.

My replacement kit for my lost Rogue showed today-
Im fired up to start the build, Im spoiled on colored glass, build - clear and done

 

[Andy Greene]

That custom 7/1 NoseCone makes it IMHO - It certainly sets mine apart

 

[Andy Greene]

Hmmmm- somehow this followed me home today, so I kept it.

He tossed the rocket in for a 100 bucks, Heck the 2 new perfectflight altimeters and the electronics bay/sled are worth that alone.
I really was after this -

sims to a little over a mile

 

[Andy Greene]

Had every intention of flying the Warhead today , but a 13-18mph breeze on the ground and 35-45mph wind @5000ft said - NOPE. Gotta know when to say NO .

That said , I Must give a huge shout out to my good buddy Mike (Grim) Z -
Dude you are the best , I ran into our other brother Bill Windex Gibson at Varn today and he gave me the kit you sent me. Thanks man - It will be built with pride and I will fly the fins off it one flight at a time
Your the man Z
