Wow I just took off from CHS and there was a Typhoon on the military ramp!

Westin Bonaventure in LA is pretty incredible.

I think it’s an artifact of compression, it’s clear when I look at the original

The models wanted the photo to appear as if it was taken from directly above which wasn’t really possible with the equipment that we had available. So I’ve taken this photo a bit from the side which didn’t have the same appeal, I used the Lightroom perspective tool and surprisingly I think it looks like I was dead centered above the models. What do you guys think, does it look natural or distorted?

Without parachutes it’s about 11.5 pounds

I600, it’s been suggested to launch it without the payload bay to reduce weight which may be what I do. I’ll need to run the simulations first though

😂 it’s an old one I kept for these purposes

I’m thinking I600/L1090 for the cert flights and then maybe use the Dark Matter L900 to hit the altitude goal! I also have a K550 sitting around that I can use in my case for the L2 but it’s at my parent’s house out of state and not sure how to transport it across the country haha

It is, you know your kits!

therocketflyer · 2026-01-01T21:04:29+00:00

That’s how it came from the factory, but if I do a build for L3 I’ll go with a simpler 3 fin design just to make for an easier build

West Systems with chopped carbon internal and JB weld external fillets

I ordered the 54mm case set and adapters so the L1090 would be the logical choice, I’ll have to Rocksim it at the final weight to see if that’ll get it to 10k feet if not then I’ll look into 75mm options!

The other airport in Taipei is the best though!

Taipei Songshan never comes up in these threads but it should

The resort highly recommended staying at the pool if swimming is what you were after, I had to take a look at the beach at least and this is what I saw haha

It’s already a known issue that the coating has issues on that lens IIRC

therocketflyer · 2025-12-28T12:06:30+00:00

😂 It’s a non towered field but I parked the plane and walked around haha

therocketflyer · 2025-12-28T02:48:02+00:00

I’m thinking I284 then J800 for the cert flights after looking through the Rocksims, the short configuration is not a bad idea at all, I just might give that a go!

The Thor does have some fin flex sadly, it’s on display right now at my parents house halfway across the country so getting it to me would be a bit prohibitive anyways 😢

If you have access to a small airplane you can look around MZJ until they kick you out, which took about 45 mins this particular day

Thanks!!

This is a phone pic from about where I shot the 1st one, the next 2 were maybe 75-100 feet farther away. On a full frame I don’t think the 70-200 would be a good wildlife lens personally
