Blink and you miss it - This extremely small carbon fiber rocket houses the largest motor that I can currently fly as a minimum diameter airframe. upon takeoff, it reached mach 1.3 in less than half a second with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 78:1. The 29mm motor case takes up 70% of the total length with the remaining space dedicated to the parachute and a GPS tracker. This rocket thankfully survived the intense acceleration under the power of an I-class rocket motor, but the retention clip failed to retain the motor case and the case remains lost to the desert.

Splat is designed for performance while sticking to a design theme of its name - a bad luck name in rocketry because splat is exactly what happens when the parachute fails. This is exactly what it did on its second flight, although subsequent repairs have allowed this rocket to fly many times successfully. Its construction is entirely 3D printed parts attached to a central cardboard wound rocket tube.

The Noodler is a mostly successful rocket and it helped me get my L1 Certification for flying larger rocket motors. With about a dozen flights and a crash, this rocket has had a hard life. After its worst crash, it needed to be completely re-built and is almost a completely new rocket now.

This rocket is a visually striking design, although it is more for show than performance. It can handle up to H-class motors and is still reasonably stable. Its wide body makes it easy to track, but comes at the penalty of poor aerodynamics. It also has a flexible nosecone so it takes only minimal damage in a crash landing.

The Fireball is my highest flying rocket on conventional rocket motors with a recorded apogee of 2988 feet. Although this is definitely not my altitude record, it is much better than my other rockets when used with a similar motor. Its small diameter and good stability make it a fun rocket to launch.

The Blorp was my first high-power rocket and it was launched at the last LDRS event to take place in Bonneville salt flats. I was able to get 3 good launches before it "blorped" into the ground. It flew to what I'm sure was an altitude record before plummeting into the salt below with a failed parachute.
