I figure I got altitudes between 60' - 90', depending on the rocket. Some young kids were there and I let them push the button Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:08:14 GMT joshuawfinn http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MicroMaxRockets/message/3205 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MicroMaxRockets/message/3205 Chan, actually, your record for 1/8A RG with the Nanite was 49 sec. And yes, I have that record in my sights. My only flight with this sucker yesterday was 42 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 14:30:40 GMT Chan Stevens http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MicroMaxRockets/message/3204 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MicroMaxRockets/message/3204 40 seconds would be very good--I can't remember whether it was for an RG or BG record, but I think my Flis Nanite beta model came in around 35 seconds or so, Wed, 13 Jan 2010 14:01:46 GMT MrCluster - Micromeister http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MicroMaxRockets/message/3203 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MicroMaxRockets/message/3203 Very Nifty Josh! Did you put up a photo yet? Seems I'm gonna have to give one of these a try. My T3 Scissor Wing Transport gets pretty good altitude but the Tue, 12 Jan 2010 19:54:21 GMT joshuawfinn http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MicroMaxRockets/message/3202 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MicroMaxRockets/message/3202 Hey guys, got a new 1/8A swing wing RG finished last night and flew it today. Weighs 2 g empty and flies about 40 sec in dead air. The altitude is impressive Sun, 27 Dec 2009 19:53:38 GMT Z http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MicroMaxRockets/message/3201 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MicroMaxRockets/message/3201 I rolled the body tube around an expended Estes mini engine (A BT-5 will work, too.) I'm fixing to turn the Nose cone on my dremel. (I ♥ that tool!!!!).
