Its been a long time.

I am finishing up a new project that I got for Christmas from My Mom and Julies. I think I am going to name it Sharky's Machine if my wife can make some shark teeth decals. I hope to get some pictures up soon and maybe get a launch in this weekend. Since this is a smaller rocket I wont have to make a 2 hour drive to the larger launch sites.

Second Flight of Blue Note

Second Flight of Blue Note. It was a pretty good flight except the drogue charge did not fire. Lucky it came in with a flat spin before the main parachute charge fired. No damage so I am not complaining.

Thanks to everyone that made it happen. Julies my great wife and Austin Area Rocket Group.

Launch this last weekend

Had a pretty good launch this weekend. Blue note went up on her maiden flight and I had a shadowhawk also fly for the first time. Both rockets were recovery except my main chute did not deploy on blue note.

Some Primer pics of Blue Note

This was my first attempt using automotive paint. I was half successful. I had to resort back to high grade spray paint for some of the rocket. I finish everything else this weekend and the final pictures will be up once the decals come in.

Ejection Test

Testing the ejection charge. Its a little much but I am happy the shear pins broke and the chute deployed cleanly.

New Color Scheme

Here is the a first draft color scheme. Any feedback would be great. I am finishing up the fin can now and looking for a November launch!
