Looking good... All the upgrades look great so far... Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build...

Thanks Mat!

Quick question: is anyone aware of an online calculator to determine appropriate fin thickness / fin flutter velocity? I've found FinSim but based on the instructions you'd need a PhD in Physics to understand it and it only seems to be available to US students: http://www.aerorocket.com/finsim.html ...

Blake is unabe to source you one?

I do have an untouched 98 mm fibreglass nosecone lying around at home I was planning to use for a future project...

Any word on the success of joeman's flight??

I’ve, was there any video of this? I believe Blake got some slow-mo footage?

Great day for flying rockets with a dust devil sweeping through mid morning that took flight cards to a higher altitude than some of the rockets! Total flight count for the day was 47 made up of: 4 x A, 3 x B, 16 x C, 4 x D, 3 x F, 7 x G, 5 x H, 2 x I, 3 x J Highlights include: Troy's Task Force X f...

I left a couple of 38mm 3G motor cases and spacers on the field after the last launch (motor retention melted)... If you find some let me know...
