I'll take you up on that, if you wouldn't mind bringing a bit to the next launch or meeting. I was planning on using some copper wire I had sitting around the house, but it is thicker than the original. Thanks!

As I had mentioned previously, the copper wire hold the engine up at ignition, the engine moves forward during thrusting stage, at apogee, the ejection charge drives the motor reward, and is captured by the hook, starting the tumblking process.

Any foreign objects place on or around the motor will impede this process.

Get a copy of the plans/instructions from JimZ and read the operation of the Scout.

Look for the announcement in the Rocket Doctor thread regarding the Golden Scout.
