The Dart

Length: 28.375"
Diameter: 1.64"
Projected Altitude: 3300'
Skill level 3

After my initial success with staged rockets I decided to see just how high I could get one to go on Estes black powder motors and this is what I came up with. it is a 24 mm D12-D12-E9 combo that I'm sure would disappear if ever launched in that configuration. I planned to launch it at the Pony Express Test Range or the Salt Flats in Utah but moved before I got the chance. The hardest part of building this one was getting the fins to line up straight with one another and mesh close enough to get the seamless look that I was going for.
