There’s always something bigger to look forward to…

This is the Porthos airframe that was a group project built with Dirk down south.

OMG! That thing is bigger than some missiles I have seen. It's about the same size as ones we used to use to launch experiments into the ionosphere (JPL provided the rockets and launching services). This is HOBBY rocketry?!?! Awesome! Unbelievable! Where do I sign up?

I don't think you really needed to paint flames on that rocket! I'm sure there were plenty of flames when it launched!
