That rocket isn't THAT bad, and I can't stand Ratty Rods. Needs to both look good and make insane levels of power.

Went up to B6-4 Field today for a Father's Day launch. I was loading the newly repaired Viper with a 1/2A3-2T and the whole motor mount pushed into the body tube. That's how my day went, but things are looking up.

Cut some tubes, made some parts. Just about ready to start. I need to find a thrust ring, I have some in a bin somewhere. The original kit didn't seem to include one but I'm going to add it.

I make my own thrust rings by cutting up spent engine casings into 1/4" segments. Works great.
