If you've been following this blog, you should know this rocket well. It was designed by Jonathan W. Mills, PhD.
I can guarantee you've never seen a rocket recover like this one before! I was so impressed by it's performance, I had to add it to the Odd'l Rockets line.

All the hard work is done for you.
The cup is pre-drilled for the engine mount and central launch lug.
Stable with a weird smoke trail during boost. The cup actually amplifies the engine thrusting noise!
If you've been launching from a standard starter set launcher, you'll welcome the new ADEPTOR Accessory.
It connects to your camera tripod and gives you an elevated low power launcher. Get up and off your knees!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQXcKUsDL7je0zsjaGV6XHB-6HXXWlHnKOp3KteqBCTsChDdj8as4-BZhTclkZSwMqQY0g_09w7CKBE0lUsWZ7J7ksxohzzlsWUNTQb_MMt2DO6a_tTeDMwi48iNFt_ougwopS0gKpils/s200/Adeptor+Pic+for+Blog.jpg)

Use you existing Estes or Quest blast deflector. When you are done launching, remove it and it's a camera tripod again!
Here's my ADEPTOR on a Quest deflector after over 50 launches!
It tightly holds 1/8" and 3/16" launch rods.

I think I'll be ordering a Cyclone later this summer. :-D What an amazing design!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray,
ReplyDeleteIt is just that - amazing!
Build it light for best perfomance and make your first flight with a 1/2A3-2t to get it back!
Thank Dr. Mills for all the design work.
