Description

Dam. Yes scary shit, Was in hospital with work related injuries (Hip broken), So Jason Cook, sent me a 4" frame and a 75 mm motor mouth.... SO that's where this story starts.. I started building in August 2014...little by little, actually not so motivated to fly but just for the building part... ordered most of the parts one day at the time, to scary to finish that rocket.. But one year later August 2015 it was ready ! Did some mods on the Av Bay to get the Iphone in WITH clear glass window ! And also removed the switch band... Had to re-cut the booster to get a nice square top cut. Also pored lots of epoxy on the retainer end to make it flush with the end of the frame and topped it off with JBWELD around the retainer to make sure that part does not come off !! Now here comes August 2015 and ready to fly the dam thing ! Got the Motor casing from Rob and also Jason Cook came by to explain how to put the whole motor and casing together, made a one hour video of it for reference... Keep my fingers crossed now !!!
