Flight Log - 2014-03-02 - Gene Wolski's Bobcat Special

My first high power scratch build.  Some details:

  • LOC 2.6" airframe, payload section, and nose cone
  • PML A-03 style G-10 fins (0.063")
  • 38mm motor mount with clip style motor retention

First flight went very well, although the lower airframe suffered a short (1") zipper which has been repaired.  I do have plans to convert this rocket to dual deployment - either using a Defy Gravity Tether or through adding a full avionics bay and extended payload section.
