Scratch Molasses II
ROB 002

This is my second try at scratch building a rocket. Now that I've learned what not to do, I think this one might work out better. This time I've put larger than necessary fins on, to insure that it flies straight.

The Molasses II is much larger than the Molasses I. But like the first one, it has a payload section. (much larger though)

LENGTH: /32"
DIAMETER: 33.7mm/1.325"
ENGINES: B6-4, C6-3, C6-5
MAX ALT: 500 ft.
RECOVERY: 18" parachute

Launch Log

Flight # Date Engine Weather Comments
1 3/05/00 C6-3 No wind Good flight, good recovery. My first ever successful scratch built launch.
2 3/26/00 C6-3 No wind Good flight, good recovery.
3 5/20/00 C6-3 Lt wind Broke a fin off when I caught it.
4 6/14/00 C6-5 Lt. wind Never got off the pad. Burned a good size hole in the pad too. Not sure why it stuck. Wehn I took it off it was kind of hard to move. This is the second time a Molasses rocket has got stuck on the pad... odd really.
