I just can't stop! Yet ANOTHER scratch build!

Perfect choice of font for the decals!

Unfortunately, no HPR flights this Saturday unless they are L1 cert attempts so it looks like we won't see this bad boy fly until next month.

Any thoughts on motors?

Oh no, it's going to fly. I have a 38mm G67R with Meat Grinder written all over it.

Tying up some loose ends. (No pun intended!) Meat Grinder is ready to tear up the sky tomorrow!

Cool rocket and a cool motor, looking forward to flight details.

Well, duh! (Slapping self in forehead.) I should have figured that one out!

I flew Meat Grinder yesterday at the SARG launch, on a 38mm G67 Redline reload. It was a good flight, but one of the fins broke on landing. Looks like the fin hit sideways. Should have used a 36" chute instead of a 32". I can fix it.

Strange... that ground does not look near as hard as where I fly. And there did not seem to be a huge horizontal drift component... Guess you just had the 'luck'. Still a great flight!

Yeah, I think it was just an unlucky hit. It must have hit hard to actually break the plywood. But that happened to my LOC-IV one time, on even softer ground.

Great vid! Thanks for sharing.

I sanded the root edges of the damaged fin, and epoxied the heck out of it. Should be plenty strong.

Had a successful launch at LUNAR on Saturday. G67 Redline. Nice flight!

I liked the part where Tony says he thought Meat Grinder took the blast deflector with it!

After he said it, I had to agree that the fins made it look that way.

Nice boost on the Redline.

I didn't notice that he said that. I'm glad it didn't! LOL

I really like the 38mm G's, I just wish they didn't have the hazmat fee. That hazmat fee is almost as irritating as paint!
