You and me *both.* Remember the Scram-Jet photo with the gouge in the tube? *That's* why I shelved that particular project.


(chuckling) I may tie with David J. Miller [of Sirius Rocketry] for "King of High-Drag Designs." (I'd pinky-wrestle him for the title, but somebody would get hurt, and I'm sure it would be me. )

Shouts out to ya, Dave!


Cheers,

I left the fins squared off just to increase the drag. Seemed to work. I used no shock cord at all, just Kevlar like in my MRS Rogue. (Which stripped its chute on Sunday, in case I forgot to mention it.)

May have to break down and get a few of those PDR's now. A-20 at least!

Cheers, Bruce

And I may have to break down and get a PDR Trident, if I can ever get past the semi-offensive name of the company. This is, of course, assuming they even make a Trident and I'm not totally confused, since their website doesn't list or show any of the kits they sell.

Hmmm. The site used to have a complete listing of the kits with photos and prices. I'm not sure why that would be taken down during their vacation. The note on the site says you can email if you want a kit before they come back from vacation.

Yeah, I thought I remembered seeing a picture of a Trident kit priced at $29.99.

I just checked it the other day to take a look at the A-20 Demon when Bill posted his images and it was working at that time. Maybe it's down to temporarily disable the shopping cart feature of the site?
