Had a heck of a time trying to get it to ignite on regular Estes igniters. The core was so deep that the igniter wouldn't touch bottom. Finally borrowed a home-made igniter and away it went!

The flight was great and the recovery on a streamer seemed normal. When I picked it up however I noticed that the wadding was still in the body tube and the ejection charge had barely moved it enough to deploy the streamer.

On closer inspection of the motor, we found that the casing had burned through the side, right above the nozzle which probably accounted for the weak charge.


I flew a Canaroc B8-2 this past Sunday in a Quest Bright Hawk model.

I used a Copperhead igniter which had no problem lighting the motor.

Good flight except the shock cord broke but the rocket was okay.

Did your D18 have a paper or plastic casing? My B8 was plastic.

Is that Jupiter C a scratchbuilt or a TMRK kit?

Ahhh, I forgot Matt had offered a Juno-1 years ago.

You have a nice collection of old scale kits there. Do you fly any of them still?

Thanks, I still fly them occasionally. The Saturn 1B 1/70th scale is the orginal I built, about 35 years ago. 4 engine cluster. Last time was in 2005, http://www.tulsarocketry.org/jun05-pics.htm , or directly http://www.tulsarocketry.org/photos/PT05_114_1453.JPG . I just have two many to choose from and do not fly enough during the year, to get them in the Air more.
