Needle Jr.


Member: Bill Earls
Club: AeroPAC
Altitude: 20,500'
Motor: CTI J-530
Project Goal: This is my Needle Jr. Project. It is a 38mm minimum diameter rocket. It is 27"L and weighs less than 20oz. All carbon fiber and a metal strip under the fiber along the root edge of the fins. This rocket is extremely strong and can handle mach 3+ flights. I will be putting it up on a CTI 6GXL J530 IMAX motor. It sims to over mach 2.5 and reaches well over 20k Ft. it will house a Raven for altitude verification as well as a Walston for tracking.
