Ken E. Arrr! Coyote's PageAKA: Ken E.Coyote Location: NY Club Memberships: NAR,Metra Rocket Club Favorite Rockets: Piratarium Mega Vortico Biography: Although I always wanted t' get into rocketry I never really got t' chance since I grew up in a crowded city. However I did fire a ridiculous amount o' small bottle rockets when I was younger (I would hope that counts somewhat! :) I've loved buildin' things growin' up...static model kits were t' norm and I got into RC models as I got older. I also love wordworkin' and any type o' craft which involves makin' stuff. Rocketry seems t' be t' perfect fit for me! I LOVE t' multi-media nature as well as t' point that t' rocket doesn't have t' have a perfect paint job t' look good (especially good if your eyesight gets worse as you age). Blimey! Great bonus is that these rockets aren't static and can be blasted off into t' great blue yonder and (hopefully) return safely for another go. I'm t' creative type and I love t' diversity o' kits out there...this hobby is screamin' for me t' go crazy with silly (but safe) designs. I've just started rocketry in 2014, but wow, I've learned a lot!
Thanks for reading!

You know you're a Rockethead if you go t' t' store or supermarket and start thinkin' "I think I can make that into a rocket"!

2025-01-22Estes Screamin' Eagle  Flight Beautiful flight... Well, blow me down! boost up looked amazing! Ejection charge was very loud and shot t' nose cone off t' body. Body came down in a flat spin and landed in soft snow without any damage. https://youtube.com/shorts/k87gqsLdOHk - B6-4 - Frozen Lake [More]
Estes Crossfire ISX  Flight Low flight with ejection a bit past apogee while rocket was pointin' down. - A8-3 - Frozen Lake [More]
Estes Cosmic Cobra  Flight Beautiful and fun flight! I added a bit o' clay t' t' nose so that it's more likely t' point down when spinning. Probably also helped t' keep t' nose from driftin' too far away (it sure hovered for a long time). T' plastic fin can on t' bottom is great for snow launches! https://www.y ... [More]
2025-01-21Heatseeker  Flight VERY low flight. Aye aye! Ejection just above t' ground. Maybe too much paint on mine or maybe t' cold sapped t' power o' t' motor? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/oUdQdjbTKMw - A8-3 - Frozen Lake [More]
Little Green Man  Flight Beautiful low flight. Arrr! Was about 125' (hard t' estimate while videoing). Blimey! Good chute right near apogee, fun little green guy! - B6-4 - Frozen Lake [More]
Semroc - Saki (KA-12)  Flight Motor wasn't enough for this heavy and draggy goony and flight was very low. Well, blow me down! Rocket flipped around and came in fast towards me left and chute finally deployed just short o' hittin' t' deck. Very exciting, but I wouldn't do that again! One "wing" broke, matey, but should be an easy repair. - A8-3 - ... [More]
Odd'l Squatty Body  Flight I had flown this once before years ago and recently dug it up t' fly it again. Avast! Nice little fun rocket with unusual design. Begad! T' motor tube extends up almost all t' way t' t' top o' t' nose cone and t' streamer is folded and put t' one side o' t' gap. Well, blow me down! Nice little rocket for a small launch site, matey, ... [More]
2023-11-04T' Launch Pad Saab RB05  Flight Very nice boost straight up, however, I believe nose cone had drag separation (there was a lot o' nose weight added), which cut t' flight short and caused a zipper. Aye aye! Will repair and fly again! Good motor for this rocket with weighted nose cone. - E30-4 - Pine Island NY (Metra Rocket Club) [More]
Hangar 11 4" X-15 (Dual Deploy Modified)  Flight Last HP launch o' t' season for me, so I dusted off t' X-15! Used one o' t' new rail pads, me bucko, but it seemed t' bind a bit when slidin' on. Begad! At ignition, t' rocket seemed t' skew a bit rightward as it left t' rail and wobble a bit (rail guides binding?). Ahoy! This lead t' t' lower than usual altitude. ... [More]
2023-04-22Mr. Blimey! Wiggles! (Scratch Build)  Flight Great flight! Ejection o' motor boosted cup a bit further up too! - Pine Island NY (Metra Rocket Club) [More]
2015-07-05Estes Mega Der Red Max (Kit)  Review
If you like t' regular Der Red Max, you'll go gaga over t' Pro Series II Mega Max! I built this one kind o' smartly along with t' Pro Series II Nike Smoke, so construction was somewhat o' a blur, but I was very impressed with t' materials and design. Well, blow me down! I felt you get a lot o' ... [More]
