This rocket got pretty much damaged in the first flight at Airfest 29, Kansas. I'm going to repair it so I can fly it again at airfest 30, in September 2024. Jason is already working on a more solid transition piece from 4" to 3". The first one, the plastic one gave way un der the extreme Mach and G's speeds. Without the help from Jason I was totally lost in the repairs and the programming of the Nexus phone. Bernie is checking for some hardware parts and the M2245 IMax motor as well. I need to stay on top of this repairs and be ready when I make reservation for hotel and field accommodations.
Update 03/13/2024 - Bernie sold his business to somebody in south Carolina. It will be hard to get an CTI M2245 IMAX motor now, also CTI suspended the IMAX motors for now.... Looking around now for somebody with an IMAX motor.
Update 03/14/2023 - Looking at SUNWARD to order the foreclosure and the retaining ring also, around $140 ! Contacted Alex Plavix to get some kind of 75 mm 6 XL grain motor, hoping for a CTI M2245 75 mm IMAX.
Update 03/19/2024 - Well, after a failure at Airfest 29 last year September, I decided to rebuild this rocket and fly it again. I could recover all the parts which was a miracle !!! Did a more robust and much more solid build. This LOKI M3464 motor will take the bejeezes out of this rocket for sure !! Will do some more modifications, to make me more comfortable with the launch. The previous motor had a much higher take off speed then this motor but still will take it beyond Mach 2.3 !!! It was very hard to find a motor of that size, I could not get the original motor M2245 from CTI because they stopped the production of high powered motor for now and they don't know when it will be back in production !!!! But I asked around and actually nobody could help me here. No one has a good solid high power motor ! So I asked LOKI and the vendors, like OneBadHawk has the motor !! But does not ship !!! Dam. and then the hardware problem, did not want to spend money again for a casing so I asked Clayton if I could borrow his 75 mm casing !!! An yes he agreed !!! He will be sending it to me in a few months. Now the problem is to get that motor here as soon as possible, I can also pick it up at the field he said, but I want to take a look at it myself first and see how it goes !!!
Update 04/17/2024 - Clayton said he will ship the LOKI casing. I wait till it arrives before I take next steps.
Update 04/18/2024 - I extended the wires for the main charges, the original was to short to connect comfortly. I solder them together and will use a scrink sock to make sure they do not touch any other connections.
