Big Rocket with Sparkly KNO3 motor



I am now the proud owner of a 1lb bag of powdered Titanium :) and what a sparkly motor it makes!!

Flying on a G89 Ex motor - KNO3/Sorbitol with 1% RIO and 10% TI.

60mm post tube airframe, plywood fins, balsa nosecone & MAD for apogee deployment. The 'Big Rocket' has been through the wars - it's been a trooper and served me well. Rebuilt after a ballistic landing (forgot to arm the electronics D'oh!) and then shearing the shock cord and busting a fin on landing, it's time to retire it to the recycling bin!

Video after the jump!
