Model rocket designs by Chris Flanigan
Despite flying to over 7,000 feet above sea level, I did not win. That’s okay though. This was still a great contest. With 15 entries, it is in the top 10% of contests held any given year.
F Giant Altitude is over. 1223 feet on an F50-9T.

F Giant Altitude Model done. Flight tomorrow.

Stacked to weigh before deciding on fin shape. Adding an altimeter bay.

Super useful website from ace competitor Chris Flanigan. Lots of good stuff.

Project Nova
Concept Sport Scale by Ryan Coleman. Note the scale 6 motors. and clear fins. Again, somehow the animated image got un-animated.
Klingon Battlecruiser
Jim Bassham's Concept Scale entry. Should be showing takeoff animated gif but it isn't. Note his blue fins, which were suppose to be invisible when seen against the sky.
Finishing A Concept Scale Model
I literally did most of the building on this model 5 years ago. Then I got deterred because I couldn't decide how to do the clear plastic fins and I wasn't sure I'd done a good job on the stringers. Anyway, decided the second part didn't matter and I'd just do the fins. I bought plastic fin material from the clearance bin at TAP Plastics, along with the necessary glue. If it looks funny, I left most of the protective plastic covering on, I'll pull it off right before I turn it in for judging. I went for 6 fins. With plenty of noseweight (put in 5 years ago), it should fly straight.
I modeled it on the drawing of the Nova in the Spaceship Handbook (pictured). Some more information here: http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/nova.htm
Another B Cluster Altitude Model
NAR member Darrell Smith from Washington sends along another photo of a B Cluster Altitude model.
Destroyed rockets
C Altitude rocket. Lost all the fins (Tony Cooper found one), did several loops, totally destroyed itself. Thankfully the altimeter survived!
D Super-Roc Altitude at Snow Ranch
I managed to capture all the models flown in this event (only 3). Jim had the longest model and won the event. Paul flew a longer model than Ryan, but his didn't go nearly as high, so Ryan edged him out for 2nd.
Is this 4xA Cluster Altitude or Sport Scale?
Unfortunately, this is the only photo I snapped. Jim Bassham's winning Aries on the left. My 15.5 year old MX-774 on the right. We had an awesome event, with 6 entries! Thanks to Jack Hagerty for judging.
