JB Weld Rocket?

Liam

Yes!!!

Liam

I think I might pull your trick to talk your parents into the Poll Cat Nike Smoke to get my hands on that buetafull rocket. Can it take a K455? What's the biggest case I can fit in it?

Rocket Vlogs

I'll have to wait until I have it better assembled, but it's going to be tight with a long 54 given the small diameter difference. I think a 2560 should definitely fit, but the K455 and L1000 case or a 2800 might not make it. Still, K1275s, K700s, and K375s would give it quite a kick

Jonathan Gaboury

is there any way to know when this will be available and/or what the contest will be?

Liam

We should do a Rocket Vlogs supporters drag race at BALLS K375's or if we can fit it K455's

Rocket Vlogs

There's no concrete date yet but I'm hoping by the end of the month. The contest at this point is planned to be at AIRfest. The rocket built 100% stock per the instructions and can be flown on any motor, commercial or research, is fine. One day from waiver open to waiver close to fly, recover, and bring me the rocket for inspection and altitude confirmation

Emma Humphries

I cannot wait to get my hands on this.

Doug

Hey does everyone remember when Brayden said he wasn't ever going to do AV bays on anything smaller than 3 in?

Rocket Vlogs

Gotta build it 100% stock including West Six10 fillets lol. Maybe we should have a superstock class where modifications are legal

Liam

Brayden I will come to Airfeast even if I have to miss SodBlaster and I will participate in this challenge and even offer to Drag race you on K455

I notice you use the recovery harness glued to the motor mount method. I normally use an eyebolt on the forward closure if not room to attach to forward centering ring. Granted I fly mostly Aerotech and ex snap ring cases. Any reason you prefer this to using eyebolt on the forward closure?

Rocket Vlogs

I used to build rockets without the harness intending to use eyebolts in the forward closure, but ran into situations where that wasn't an option (mainly DMS motors). I started sort of standardizing my rockets like this because it's a bit of a "better to have it and not need it" sort of scenario.
