Miss Kenzie

Updated 10/10/22

Miss Kenzie is named (and painted) after our pup, Kenzie, a 100lb (45kg) Great Pyrenees mix we adopted in November 2019. The rocket is built from a 2.6″ fiberglass Wildman Competitor kit with a 54mm motor mount. It can fly on anything from a thrusty H motor to theoretically a small L motor. It uses standard dual deployment and is intended to be the most commonly flown rocket in my fleet because of its flexibility supporting such a wide range of motors.

It was built in early summer 2020 and first flew at Airfest 26 in Argonia, KS in September 2020. It needs an avbay redesign and its own dedicated recovery components, but after that, I hope to have it flying every other month or so.

Maiden flight on an Aerotech I161W

Eggtimer Electronics Test Bed

Miss Kenzie has also flown as a test bed for new Eggtimer altimeter kits I’ve soldered together. The altimeter being tested flies as the primary with a commercial altimeter riding backup with an apogee delay and lower main parachute altitude deployment set. So far both maiden flights have been successful of the Eggtimer Quark and Quantum units flying on I357T and I285R motors. The Eggtimer electronics have their own page here with more detail.
