  • sweet they gave your audio back! :D

    beautiful man! cant wait to see the whole thing completed with booster :D

  • @Mysticlambo Ya i was really surprized & stoked they did!

    Working on the first stage now :)

  • Why did yo have two timers? Is one for the staging and the other for the airstarts? What batteries did you use for the airstarts? Did you use Thermite?

  • Two timers yes. Both for airstarts.

    One for the 2-38mm & one for the 2-29mm. Used Duricell 9v.

    No Thermite, home dipped low current ematch & chunks of Blue thunder painted to the core. I feel safe using one timer for 2 motors only, the battury is pritty well spent with two ematches. The first flight I used 1 timer for each 29mm but in the 2 stage mode they will need to light 2 motors each.

  • What motors did you use?

  • This rocket is the upper stage, the first stage is under const. & will be 98mm with a L952W for first flight then lighting (2)J570's then (2)I200's. But to answer your question for this flight it lifted off with (2)J350's & air-started (2)I200's.
