such a tiny rocket, with a golf ball nose cone / nose weight
ignition of the new single-use Aerotech H motor
Look at the hula dance it puts the launch rod through
with a nice plume to rocket ratio =)She flew straight as an arrow a mile up out of sight…
This is what the minimum-diameter 3D-printed fin cans look like up close, on a plane
The 38mm version went a little differently…

Don’t like the units? =) P.S. I just recovered this rocket yesterday, 10 days after launch. A nice Russian-accented guy found it on the beach, saw the 650 area code on the phone number written on the rocket, and brought it back home with him. When he called me at work, he said "I figured that someone launching rockets in Half Moon Bay from the 650 area code probably lives near Menlo Park, and that’s where I live, so I brought it back." I commended him on his reasoning, as he reached me at work, in Menlo Park.
