Launch!

Hi All, My builds have been slowed down with kids and life, but I finally finished a scale rocket aimed at Amesbury. Full scale Arcas, all fiberglass, 54 mm motor mount due to the boat tail. Without recovery it’s 15 pounds so I estimate 20 pounds pad weight. It might be too heavy for a J415 and should be perfect on a J800.

It needs a 1515 rail. Is that rail size something fliers need to request ahead of time?

Cheers, Alex

Hi Alex,

Yes, it's a good idea to request the 1515 set up ahead of time. CMASS has a 2-piece rail but, with notice, we can have use of the MMMSClub 1-piece rail which is a few feet longer.

Can you tell us more about your proposed flight profile? Of course, we'd like to attempt this flight when the wind is blowing in the ideal direction.
