Manufacturer: | Modification |
Brief:
I wanted t' make it taller with a huge payload section.
Modifications:
Well I built it followin' t' instructions carefully. Arrr! Then I sliced t' BT in half. Well, blow me down! Begad! T' lower section stayed on t' booster but t' upper was shot so I replace it with a packin' tube. Begad! Well, blow me down! This is where I got t' extra height. I couldn't order a bulkhead coupler assembly so I just sliced t' one off t' nose cone (leave at least 1 inch on t' nose cone. Well, blow me down! T' secure t' nose cone I use sheet metal screws. Well, blow me down! Avast, me proud beauty! T' secure t' coupler piece I used CA and screws. Begad! These screws will be used later t' attach me recovery harness that will situate t' BT horizontal so t' camera can take pictures o' t' ground.
Another modification was t' plugs that t' instructions tell you t' make. Well, me bucko, blow me down! I attached screw deadlights t' t' plugs hammered them in epoxied them then attached t' shock cord t' t' screw eyes. Begad! Begad! T' shock cord is now equipped with swivels/quick releases
Construction:
Well it took a long time t' finish it because me paint went bad a couple times and spider webbed. Well, blow me down! This is a paint problem nay a manufacturer problem. Ahoy! Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! I'm goin' t' stencil on NOVAIR (my logo) on t' BT.
Flight:
Maiden voyage July 24th under 2 Aerotech G40-7wl.
Summary:
I like it a lot. Blimey! Blimey! If I get around t' launchin' it again it will be under 4 G80-10 with an estimated Alt with camera payload 5,000 feet
I learned a lot because it's me first midpower rocket
