Puts my Patriot Missile model rocket to shame...only uses 1 C-class motor

Fucking awesome! At least there are some parts of this country that you can have fun in...

I got excited, but it was only a single stage.

 

[Cycle61]

4400' altitude ain't bad for a single stage. And DAMN that thing got moving in a hurry.

So much for 1:10 scale power source huh ? Fuckin' A did that thing move.

So at what point does it stop being a scale model and cross over to a SAM?

Been flying rockets like that since I was 7 years old (well they were Estes sized back then).

Model rocketry is a wild hobby. Some people spend enough to make an AFM season look like pennies.

There are clubs as close as Stockton or Fresno (Fresno launches allow up to M class motors, pretty large). If you travel out to Black Rock Nevada you can find rockets shooting for 100,000' being launched all weekend.

For reals do you have to tell the FAA or NORAD if you are going to huck a "model" to 100,000 ft????

I also used to build & fly rockets in my youth...but never stuff such as this!
