Was the tube that goes between the transition and the nose cone wrapped in the kit? Mine was not . No biggie though , just prime and paint.

Mine was not wrapped. I painted it gloss white.

My Low Power Rocket Fleet

Level 1 (2-22-2014) GRITS Winternationals
Level 2 TBD
Level 3 TBD

Without recovery system, the rocket is 6 ounces.

The payload tube is just slightly larger than heavy walled BT-70. The nose cone and transition fit perfectly on a normal BT-70.

The plastic transition fits rather loosely in BT-60. The smaller shoulder is 1.58" diameter. The OD of the main body averages 1.71"


based on average --> optimistic Cd,

looks like it will do 700-1000' on E9-4

420-580 on D12-3

170-200 on C11-3

Flew my new Falcon 9 yesterday on a D12-5.

Excellent flight, straight, no roll, ejection shortly before apogee. Did not use the kit-supplied chute due to one of the shroudline knots coming undone. Instead used an 18" Estes chute. Hit the wet Georgia clay slightly fast but no damage.

Our club "bans" Estes wadding in favor of club-supplied dog barf due to aesthetics, but I used one square over the cross brace and then poured a little dog barf over that.

Thanks for that post. I was wondering if there was enough room between the cross brace and the laundry for sufficient wadding. Now I know.
