I'm digging the hair mark!

[metalwizard23]

@TIRrocketry Ha ha sorry no more metal hair. I cut it all off when it reached my butt.. that ended my Heavy metal band days (I used to play percussion in a metal band)

[TIRrocketry]

@metalwizard23 That's pretty cool. I've been playing guitar for almost 6 years now.

[WestTexasRockets]

[RANDOMS92]

gone with the wind did you ever get it back

[metalwizard23]

@RANDOMS92 Yep.... It put its main out at apogee  so it drifted about 1.5 miles...

[metalwizard23]

@RANDOMS92 yep landed about 1.5 miles away and has flown many times since.

[jemar120011]

[metalwizard23]

@Mysticlambo

Well I have to say yes, BUT I will never do it again. NO MORE ERRORTECH for ME.

CTI all the way baby. I have flown it again on CTI's K1400.. put the Redlineto SHAME. 

[redneckjew15]

how the hell did you get that

[metalwizard23]

@redneckjew15

What back? it was about a mile and a half away when it landed.. LONG WALK LOL

[urosh911]

The cone of the rocket is deliberately wider than its fuselage to form the supersonic shockwave at the front and not at the fins....right ?

[metalwizard23]

Actually, the nike smoke was used for testing wind at high altitude before they launched a serious rocket. the cone created a low pressure right behind it, that pressure pulled chemicals out of the rocket that left a DARK "smoke" trail in the sky so they could watch what the wind was doing.

[elliotmotoX]

how do you know it's supersonic?

[metalwizard23]

accelerometer on board. and a nice wiggle during flight going through mach.

[driftability]

Went back to the future.
