  • Ooooohhh...that sucks.  However, nice choice in name and song. Any chance at rebuilding it and trying again?

  • Not this year, we were kicking around the idea of a boosted dart for next year though.

  • That initial acceleration was ridiculous.

  • Can you post the specs on this motor and estimated performance? That information is missing, which is strange because most large projects at least state the motor class. Is it a Q or a P, in other words? :) Thanks guys, great rocket!

  • Holy cow! Lightning-fast. I think ya need to leaarn how to weld your fins...LOL! Wonderful!
