Angry Daddy! Estes Big Daddy on a 54mm J315R

It has been some time since my last rocket video and I apologize for that. My preferred video editing software decided it no longer likes my camera's file format, and has given me fits while trying to edit some longer launch compilation videos. However, I've been wanting to share my latest project, and was able to get this short video together.
This is Angry Daddy, an Estes Big Daddy that I modified for Tri-Cities Rocketeer's Sod Blaster contest this year. I entered in the Big Daddy Stress Test competition in the Unlimited category. Rules were to build a Big Daddy that conforms to the original outline, and must use the original nose cone. I modified my kit with a LOC motor mount and centering rings, 1/8" fiberglass fins, kevlar shock cord, rail buttons, and an eye bolt and about five ounces of nose weight up front. In the nose cone I was able to fit a 24" parachute, nomex blanket, chute release, tracking streamer, and my Missileworks T3 GPS. Contest flight was on an Aerotech J315R. Thanks for watching and hopefully I'll have more vids out in the near future as I transition to my new editing software.

That is an awesome freak-mutant of a Big Daddy. I missed that launch at Sod Blaster. Cool rocket. Cool event!

[@flyfalcons]

I was going to fly it on Saturday, but the conditions on Friday were perfect and I decided to go for it then.

[@Nlangkirby135]

That is awesome and insanely powerful big daddy. Thanks for the vid.

[@Martin-Makes]

I like the added streamer make it easy to see

[@polakrocketing171]

[@pariahzero]

Hopefully I’ll be able to do the same at Bonneville this summer... thanks for the video!

[@kurgan2k9]

That was epic!

[@donnieporter7890]

That was killer

[@Fred_the_1996]

Wow daddy, it's so big!

[@3605409545]

Flyfalcons.... What is the prosses leading upto cert 1? Any minimum time with a club or NAR? Or do you just need to prove you can build a rocket safely and beable to launch again right away?

[@Nidhogg13]

Join NAR or Tripoli, build an appropriate sized rocket, and safely fly it on an H or I motor with a certification witness watching your flight. That’s it. I personally recommend spending a year or two building and flying low power rockets before moving into high power, but it’s not required.

[@minervasandoval7815]

Fantastic... Now get that telemetry going too...

[@flyfalcons]

Yeah............It was after the main deployed that I realized I forgot to hook up my Estes altimeter. Whoops!

[@jmstudios457]

I still need to fix my big daddy. Packed it too tight and drilled a hole in the ground. Motor mount needed to be scrapped.

[@Dymond_Y2K]

8200 hundred damn feet?

[@modelrocketry8994]

Where do you buy this

[@flyfalcons]

I got the LOC motor mount and centering rings from LOC. Kevlar shock cord, G10 fiberglass plate, and eye bolt from Wildman. Vinyl decal from Sticker Shock. Hope this helps.
