Flight Log - 2012-02-04 - K Sonesen's Steppin' Razor (Tube Fin)
This is a Larry Brand design that I assembled from parts contained in a LOC Precision Lil Nuke kit and an extra length of 54mm tubing. LOC 54 mm tubing is motor mount grade so it's a bit thicker than most. I also ordered a 6" long payload bay kit to complete the build.
Larry's article on the original Auracle 54 is sketchy on details and so I relied on the photgraphs accompanying the article. When all was said and done, I'm happy with the way it turned out. In retrospect, I will never again attempt a tube fin with tapered ends.

Went a bit higher than I expected and the winds were heavier at altitude. I had a very long walk to recover the rocket. Discovered I'd forgotten to start the Altimeter 2. *sigh*
