Rocket #6 - "EggBeater" contest-built egg lofting rocket
- Scratch Built
- 48" High, 3" Wide
- 29 mm Motor Mount
This rocket was scratch built in 3 hours in the back of the truck
when I took part in a contest out at Ocotillo. I didn't
win the contest but the rocket flew *ok*. Since then, I've logged
a couple more flights on it, so it has been promoted to a "real" rocket,
worthy of it's own page. Please see the
flight log for 2001-04-07 & 08
for more details about this rocket's genesis.
