Manufacturer: | Scratch |
Ashley designed this rocket from scratch totally by himself. He chose the materials and made most of it including the painting. I did help with the glue though. Left is the plan he made first with the Microsoft 'Paint' program.

Launch
Using WRASP, we calculated a B6-4 to begin with based on the weight of the rocket. This was stuck to the bottom of the 4th empty motor. It had it's maiden flight on 13th September 98 at the SERF's Ichenstoke launch. It's quite an unusual shape and there was much interest. The flight was perfect. Straight up about 100ft. It dropped a way back before the nose ejected off. The parachute was pulled out by the nose and opened about 30ft from the ground. It landed right at our feet. This was followed by a deserved round of applause from the onlookers and a pat on the back from Dad.
