Looks like the far left Nike Smoke was first off the pad:

Incredibly close grouping off the pad.
Thanks TCC for a great weekend. I have video from eight cameras to edit
through, so it might take a bit.
And if you launched from the away pad, I might have some launch photos for you.

OK I have my kit built, all left to do is T/T and paint.
Then she will be ready to kick some ass.
Did a custom airfoil effect on the 1/4” thick ply. fins, it looks sweet. Fins
are 7/16” thick at the root and ~5/16” at the tip. Then the airfoil tapers to
the leading and trailing edge down to ~3/16”. Fins will be composite of 1/4”
birch ply, 3/32” basswood, west, and 1.5 fiberglass.

Hi All
Ok James woke up the Nike crowd and I have been getting e-mails
and phone calls on what we are doing so here it is.
Nike Drag race on any size Nike Smoke you want but it has to have a K motor in
it or larger if you decide to fly a larger Nike. Repeat- Has to be a Nike
Smoke now the motor of choice was the K2045 I will have about 14 or 15 of them
and if you are in the drag race with a K2045 I will do the motor for $99.00
only the K2045 so if you have a Nike and want to fly another motor you can but
I am not sure why you would want to get your assed kicked with something less.
I also have Nike’s in stock in all sizes 4”, 5.5”, 7.5” and 10” in the Polecat
brand and I have a few of the Madcow 4” glass Nikes which are basically the
Performance Nike’s. I saw a post where Aaron wanted to fly the K1103X well as
long as it is in a Nike then fine but the problem Aaron is we did this motor as
a demo last year and Steve Sawyer got whipped with that motor and I talked to
Aerotech and they are still not California certified a year later, so Karl is
going to let me know when it can go into California. So any questions?
