Explored orange colors for my L3 rocket
Wagon wheeled the DRM. Should have done the forward ring, not the aft. Will remember for next time.
Balsa and minimum epoxy or CA, is lighter than a globby fillet of glue (any).

Had some extra Estes BT80 paper rings around. Amazing how strong they are with a little balsa added. (Again, will do forward ring next time. Derp.)
I feel your pain. I live on the Atlantic Canada coast so this is a typical day.Got up at 7.00 to set up for the day, to be greeted by 15 kph wings with frequent 30 kph gusts.
Not a huge recovery area, so launch is on hold for a couple of hours.

This is intensely cool!Turned the disc portion (2-piece) for my USS Sarah Connor rocket.
Yes, we have no bananas. Try using a pen or pencil for scale. That is "professional." If your rockets are big, use a school bus.Hoping for a good days test frights tomorrow. Three of five for testing.

Wow a blast from my past with the RASCAL. This was one of my early builds way back then. I still have it and it's pristine. Brings back alot of good memories. You don't see this bird very often today. So glad to hear it was recovered with no damage.Launched 4 low power rockets.
