Hello, I posted earlier about flying a rocket with some old FSI F7 motors I had laying about...well, I think I have a solution and am wondering what the group thinks of this idea! My brother in law asked me if I could do a rocket demonstation for his Tiger Cub troop. I was happy to do it, but knew that would be flying from a small field (a couple of soccer fields) and wondered what I could fly that would still be fun. Along with the Ninja on a C11 and the Chrome Dome on a B4 or B6, I'm planning on building and flying one of Art Applewhite's flying saucers (either the paper or the one using Hefty Plates). I think the one's made for 24mm E engines could be readily adapted to fly with FSI F7 motors (these are 27mm). What do you guys think of the idea? I think the long burn times of the motor should give an impressive flight and if it CATO's there is nothing lost! Any idea how high these might fly on such a motor? Craig caheatoATnetzero.net
