Has there ever been a closer drag race?
From the timing of successive photo frames, I calculate the timing delta
between first and last place as 0.05 seconds…
That's rocket racing!
And remember elementary school field trips with the buddy system? Always stay
with your buddy…
Looks like that happened on this field trip as well:

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?
