MPX Rocket Fox - MK2.

Date: 29th May 2009
Location: R&DMFC club field
Weather: 7mph wind, pleasantly warm, 20% cloud cover
Temperature: warm enough for shorts.

Picture the scene. The MPX Fox glider had been converted to use a small rocket motor for motive power. Thinking back to last summer when we first attempted it, the design and calculations couldn't possibly be wrong this time? Could they? Using a Rocket motor to boost the RC converted MPX Fox couldn't possibly go wrong a second time round.....

EDIT: just noticed Youtube are still processing the video. Give it a few minutes for them to finish, and the quality should be outstanding!

You just wouldnt have thought it would be that hard would you

Ahh well we will crack it next time!

LOL

that would look great on a heli !

hopeless. very entertaining, but hopeless

There is always hope Leigh

I'm partway through some slight modifications to the MK2 Rocket Fox. They should result in an MK3 version that has got LOTS of potential! Keep tuned for more news as it unfolds (or rather, folds, then crashes and burns!)....

Cheers
