I started working on a new rocket a couple of days ago. It’s a combination of a few designs, including one whose C5-3 CATOed at LUNAR‘s Ames launch last Saturday. (It was a pretty cool CATO, even if it was a maiden flight. Who ever heard of an 18mm black powder motor CATOing? Yeah, it happens, but not so often. Motor lit, rocket cleared the tower, and about 10-ish meters up, motor blew. I’ve still not yet done the dissection.) Ryan Coleman has a couple of pictures he’s sent over of that CATO; I’ll post those soon.

New rocket: Bed Knobs and a Broomstick. I’ll start getting some pictures and post a build blog.
