| Having acquired some out-of-production motors,
I needed a rocket which could handle them. Included were some MPC
B3 mini-boosters and some slow burning AVI
D6.1 boosters and sustainers.
I was expecting to need two different rockets for this, but Don Magness
(Mr. Squirrel Works) recommended
his Cloud Warrior, and I realized it was indeed suitable for both motor
types.
The B3-0 boosters can be readily adapted up to fit in the booster while
for the D6.1's, I left out the thrust ring in the sustainer so that the
extra long (3.75") AVI motors will fit. The booster is set up with
a motor hook which can be moved aside to accomodate the long booster hanging
out the back. |

Above is an alternate
paint scheme idea
using purple instead
of red.
Who loves ya', Bill? |
Assuming the B3's don't cato and the rocket is safely recovered,
I will then try it with a B6-0 or C6-0 to D6.1 combo. Again, if it's
recovered, I'll try a D6.1 to B6-6 or C6-7 combo. I don't really
have the kahunas to try a D6.1 to D6.1 :)
I should get it painted soon and have it ready for NSL in May (where
it will fly on certified motors). |
