Well I've been dreaming up rocket ideas for quite a long time and even entered the Estes contests a *really long time ago* (never won anything) but I wouldn't call myself anything like time-tested :-)

Essentially I took the Sunward Skybender and doubled everything so I had a really good base to start with. My Skybender has flown a couple of times and I really like it alot. I've built most of the new rocket already, just need to finish the top and cut out the fins. Then paint.

I do have a question though.... how far does an ejection charge travel? The rocket is about 5' 8" tall. Since there are several regular model rockets out there that are much taller, I assume I won't have a problem with the ejection charge ejecting the parachute. I was thinking of putting a BT-80 baffle in there, but wasn't sure if it was necessary.

Thanks!
