Snake Eye Bomb Rocket by Aslansmonkey

Last crawled date: 4 years, 11 months ago

This is probably my most complicated rocket design. It takes some patience and skill to get it together but once you do, the results are an amazing rocket with a very cool recovery method. It falls from the sky like the Mk 82 "Snake Eye" bomb that inspired it.
This rocket should probably only be flown on a C6-3, though a B6-2 should work. It will NOT fly on an A. And as it is a heavier rocket, a short delay is desired. Too long a delay and the petals will tear off.
See the included instructions text file for assembly instructions and be ready to consult both the exploded view and the associated photos to get an understanding of how it works.
You will need the following to complete this rocket
3d Printed parts (See instructions)
BT-60 body tube
BT-50 body tube (If doing the snake eye version, not needed for the "Nope" rocket)
BT-20 body tube
12" Parachute ("Nope" rocket) or a Streamer (Snake eye)
ShockCord if doing the "Nope" rocket
Epoxy glue
Several 1" (no larger) rubber bands.
Here's a couple videos of it in flight:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M87Afe-iv3Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r-QkSe8QUQ
