Description

Tims rebuild Rocket The Zodiac 'Cruiser' will fly in September on a 6 grain motor or maybe a 4 or 5 grain, but I want it to go close to mach, so right now I'm getting all the parts together for an exact weight status.

Update 08/21/2016 - Today I did the pyro test and the final charge was 1.8 grams for drogue as usual for all my 3" other rockets. The backup will be 2.0 or maybe 2.2 grams. There only will be one stratologger and backup that only fires the drogue, the main is in the same compartment with a chute release from Jolly Logic. So far all systems are tested and ready to go in September.

Update 09/10/2016 - Launch day, very excited, flying two rockets and time is running out... Great flight straight up. Motor was a K454 SK and not the motor that I originally wanted the K515 SK !!! But never the less a great flight. Iphone did not record any data and video, will look into that closer to find some bogus data .. Very happy and landed like 1/5 mile away in the next field up north ! A bit of a walk but happy, Nose cone was stuck in the ground and one of the fiberglass holders that holds the phone in place broke off. But can be fixed !! Upload data and pictures soon. Just to add on here that the chute release worked great !!
