Mehcod is a scratch built rocket named after me Grandson who was born on 12-20-18. It is designed t' fly on 24mm motors or 18mm motors with an adapter. A 16" Mylar parachute handles recovery. This be t' second version o' this rocket that I built for Mehcod. Well, blow me down! Original was lost on maiden flight.
Note: t' green nose cone part pops off so I can use t' crayon part as a cargo bay. (It originally had a bag o' gum balls in it.)

Maiden flight for replacement rocket. Well, blow me down! Loaded rocket with 18mm adapter and a C6-5 due t' wind and I didn't want t' lose this one like t' last one. Rocket arced into t' wind but still got some decent altitude. Parachute just past apogee with moderate drift down range. Good recovery with no damage.
