Steve is so far our biggest rocket it is 3in wide and about as tall as the gladiator. It weighs about 25oz and takes 29mm motors (mostly Gs). It was short lived though, We launched it Saturday in about 15mph winds on a G76-7G. It flew perfectly and instead of weather-cocking, it flew in the same direction as the wind. It landed 1.5miles away, but before we could recover it the wind dragged it along the ground and pulled off two of the six fins. It is still repairable but it will take some work. 1st time with the new 29/40-120 case though. The video is in the post below.
Thanks to Mr. Pratt & Mr. Black for helping cut the fins.
