Yeah, it sucks to crash a rocket. On the other hand, it gives me an excuse to build another. :D

You may be able to re-use a fin--or is that considered Bad Luck amongst the rocketeers?
Posted by: Victor at May 4, 2004 07:31 AMI salvage pieces all the time, but this time the only reusable bits are the eyebolts, quicklinks, tubular nylon harness and parachute. The rest is toast. :D
Posted by: Ted at May 4, 2004 08:35 AMNylon? You don't need no steenking nylon when you can use Tubular Kevlar! Whatcha got in the inventory? I've got plenty of parts sitting around that'll never get used. I could send them to you along with a new product I want you to beta-test: the Waterproof MicroBeacon! (chortle)
Well Doug, based on this morning's great news, I just happen to have the parts all ready to go for a 4" diameter Yellow Jacket upscale that'll be perfect for Level 2 on a SkyRipper J. ;)
BTW, it's getting dim, but as of this morning the beacon was still flashing. :D
Posted by: Ted at May 4, 2004 11:20 AMMost excellent. If the SkyRippers don't have Tripoli cert by the time you're ready, I'll gladly lend you a ProPoly J160. We've flown that motor a lot, as well as the shorter I140 version, and it always satisfies. Are you building with a 54mm motor mount? I recommend it; it lets you use a vented adapter for 36mm motors.
