| Description |
My son designed this rocket from scratch, and this was the first test flight for stability with one motor, a Cesaroni Aerospace J360 with titanium sponge in the propellant. It was a loud sustained roar into the sky, punctuated with throaty afterburner effects. He plans to add three more motors at each of the outer edges of the fins, for a cluster launch. So the bottom section is not yet completed or painted. The fins are honeycomb nomex sandwiched between fiberglass sheets. It has a cool aluminum boat tail and a reduction coupler for the strap-on videocamera. He built a computer model (below) for this flight, and it would have gone supersonic were it not for the drag of the videocam (which took quite a beating but managed to capture the climb to max Q) |
