Jihad This!

Flight

Despite very little wind and more than a 5:1 thrust to weight ratio, this 17.5lbs rocket came off the rail and then cocked over about 27.5 degrees from vertical.  The 200-250 fps apogee event caused a slight bit of damage to the lower airframe where the kevlar snapped against it, despite pipe ...

Mercury Engineering Grave Danger (Kit)

Review

Brief: A simple mid-power 3 fin, 29mm MMT, stubby rocket. I believe this rocket is meant for those "graduating" from the Estes low power and want the next step up in materials and capabilities. My 9-year old daughter chose this as a birthday present and as her first mid-power ... [More]
