Was this on Saturday afternoon?

If so, I'm pretty sure i saw this flight. I distinctly remember the airstart.

Yes, Barry at LOC suggested 4 fins would be more stable so I added that and additional centering ring to make a fin can and had the 29mm & 38 mm motor tubes extend length all centering rings.[

Next time, I plan to use FJ engine to make it more distinct. This time I used green on a white and not as clear. Will be trying at NSL in June.

The Magnum has been around for a looooong time, It flies great with 3 fins!
I've built one and cloned a second with slightly larger fins.

How much does your weigh with these mods?

Here's an old picture from ~1994. This was my first Loc Magnum and had flown many flights before this picture was taken. In this picture it's ready to launch on an Aerotech I357. The Magnum performed flawlessly as before.

Personally, this picture is very special to me, as the little boy in the picture is my youngest son Kyle (rocketkyle)....

Classic rocket, awesome paint job, sweet vintage photo. LIKE.

I have a Magnum in a box sitting at home in California. Now I can't wait to get home and build it.

With 4 fins, ebay for Dual deploy/9v batter/HIAlt45, comparment to hold airstart XCIC-2 9v batteries it comes to 172 oz ~10.7 lbs.

Add the 2xG76 with case motor cases and one J350 with case... it weighed in at TCC at 13 lbs.
