Der Zwei Decker Max

Flight

The flight was not very straight.  I will try again with B engines instead of C engines.  Recovered with no damage.  This was a fun project to build. - C6-0/C6-7 - Geneseo, NY [More]

Core Sample II

Flight

Fun to watch!  I attached a Booster Vision to the rocket and got a decent video.  I need to reconsider the parachute: recovery was 1/2 mile down range. - Aerotech E30-4 - Geneseo, NY [More]

Patriot

Flight

2nd flight for my Estes Patriot.  Looks good on the pad.  The color scheme stands out. - C6-5 - Geneseo, NY [More]

Cowabunga

Flight

This was my rebuilt Cowabunga.  It literally screamed off the pad with an H400.  Nosecone separated at chute deployment but otherwise a great flight. - CTI H400-8 - Geneseo, NY [More]
