Rocketry Activity Photos
| While I repaired the Viper, it was damaged again on its sixth flight when the recovery system piston got fouled on the kevlar bridle, causing the booster and payload sections to smash into each other at altitude, ripping off two fins. After that, I elected to go with all fiberglass construction and this image shows what I call the Proteus I rocket, which still uses motor ejection for the main PML parachute. This rocket used the fins and nose cone from the old Viper. |
