I would like to see a "redemption" episode where you get the Scout off the ground. I am excited to see the new engine in action. I was thinking while watching the live stream that it was a good learning opportunity all around. I imagine you will be able to hit many more of your SOP times for the next one. Awesome job!

Joe, You are the man. Don't let any of these steps in wrong directions phase you, I appreciate you sharing this with us. I still don't know how you run BPS as one person, and I commend you. I would like to see the Scout launch as stated, but I also understand that BPS is a business and I believe you should make the call on this one and do what will yield more for your efforts. I think I speak for most when I say you have our support either way. Blue Skies and Low Winds!

Personally, I would like to see you get that Scout rocket off the ground finally. Cash in on all that good Karma. But I'll watch the videos no matter what! I'd still be happy with a LMR episode. Take a breather, let us know if there's anything we can do to make it easier!

U.S. Water Rockets

I noticed in your video that the launch computer is somewhat exposed beneath the rocket. I would recommend that you place it under some sort of cover. The smoke residue that comes from certain motors is actually conductive, and can screw up your electronics. When I was testing my altimeter design on a pyro rocket, a film of residue built up on the PCB and it started sending sporadic readings to the servo and then started rebooting. Cleaning the film off with IPA fixed it, then I bought a can of Humiseal conformal coating and protected the entire board. Naturally, I somehow clogged the inlet port of the BMP180 even though I masked it off, so I still managed to ruin the altimeter. I would recommend an enclosure instead.

I personally would love to see both but for me a LMR video would be very helpful at the moment. Regardless I’ll still watch whatever you decide on 🙂👍

Joe, look I’m new here and honestly don't have much input in all the science of it. However I am doing my best to take in all of this amazing knowledge and join in without sounding like a complete idiot sometimes. So far you and everyone here has greeted me with the kindness and respect with open arms. From my short time as a patreon I have noticed one major important thing, there are a lot of people who genuinely admire and respect what you are doing. Out of all the things I could be doing with my time I choose / They choose to spend it watching your rocket videos and hanging out on discord with all the other amazing people that want to be here. That my friend is far from failing that is the true community you have built, you have nothing but my respect and admiration for what you do . It is an honor and a pleasure to be in your lovely community. Hugs to you , you are wonderful human being Joey B!

Joe, sorry I couldn't make it down for the launch and even though things didn't go as planned it still would have been a great sight. Please don't be discouraged by setbacks like these as everyone of them is an opportunity to learn something you didn't even know you needed to know. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the update. Re what to do next? You’re choice! I’d enjoy either one!
