Blastoff

This rocket was extensively modified from the original Loc V2 kit. It was made longer and with a 76mm motor mount. It is painted in the old Der Red Max paint scheme. A drogue is ejected at apogee and the mains are tethered in the body tube until the preset main altitude is reached. A recent repair has added an additional 3 inches to the total height.
