A recent model rocket project has been completed and painted. This is one of the larger model rockets that I have built, but not too difficult. Standing approximately 3 feet tall, the construction presented some challenges with fin alignment and adhesion issues, preventing it from being flight-ready just yet.

Warmer weather will enable larger kit construction projects. Balancing academic commitments with hobby pursuits has proven challenging, though the conclusion of the school quarter should free up more time.

Plans

  • Additional building and launches at the NOVAAR Great Meadow location
  • Ongoing work on the repository and motor development (receives nearly daily updates)

Check the repository frequently for construction and test result information. The project is based on the Rocketarium "Frangible Arcas" design.
