- At Sod Blaster 2019, the Tri-Cities Rocketeers held a Big Daddy Stress Test Challenge contest. The goal of the challenge was to build an Estes Big Daddy and fly it successfully on as big of a motor as you dare.
Scoring was determined by multiplying the motor's average thrust (N) by its total impulse (Ns). Altitude was not a scoring consideration, but the rocket must be flown and recovered successfully.
There were two divisions: Mod Stock and Unlimited. In Mod Stock, competitors were allowed to increase the motor mount size to 29mm, and upgrade the standard elastic shock cord to something more heavy duty. Rail buttons were also allowed. Otherwise, the rockets must remain in stock form, including using the supplied body tube and balsa fins.
The Unlimited category, on the other hand, only required competitors to maintain the original dimensions of the Big Daddy, and use the nose cone supplied in the kit. All other mods from the original kit were allowed.
This video is a compilation of the entries flown at Sod Blaster 2019. Enjoy!
Great contest. If only we had such a nice launch site in SoCal.
This is one of the coolest videos based on one of the coolest rocket designs! Well done!

That's awesome!
Just Wow! 😮
This is so cool, I feel dumb asking this, but what is a drag separation?
You are lucky you have a permanent place to launch big rockets my launch site closed down because we were on a navy air field and a rocket landed on a power line
Great video... could someone explain the scoring calculations to me?
