These are a few of my rocketry projects.  Click on the pictures to read the articles.

 

Tachyon

Construction of a scratch-built model rocket for D12-5 motors.  This rocket was built for speed and very high flights and is a nice first project for anyone wanting to move up from 18mm motors.  It uses piston ejection rather than wadding.

 

Sudden Rush

A review of PML's Sudden Rush kit.  This is a great rocket for learning about dual deployment.

 

Einstein Centenary Project

My current HPR project.  A rocket to celebrate the centenary of Einstein publishing his theory of special relativity in 1905.  Two stages, 8 feet tall, 4 electronics bays..... this baby is BIG

 

Viking

A project to build a scale model HPR.  The result was a 4 inch diameter, 6 foot high, scale model of Viking 4
