I remember getting this rocket when I was a kid and love it. The Big Daddy and Shadow were my favorites. I just ordered a Big daddy for me and a starter kit for my 11 year old and I am kind of bummed they changed the color scheme and graphics lol.
Nice... I have 2 big daddy's... one built stock... the other built out with plywood fins and motor centering rings and a larger 29mm motor mount tube... to accept economax F67... can't wait to see it fly...
Glad to see you Got your Rocket Back Gerald :) Stephen T Tripoli #15941 hope to see you at a launch soon I’ve kinda transitioned into Pyrotechnics at the moment
I don't know much about rocketry but I am curious about the chute deployment. I see it was set to deploy at 800'. Does that mean it was still headed to earth at VERY HIGH SPEED when the chute deployed, and snapped the chord? That would put the bottom half VERY near the nose cone you retrieved. Was the strap holding the 2 halves together a Kevlar chord or something else?
That Bigger Daddy jumped off the pad in a big hurry. Impressive. I live in the metro area, and would like to watch some time. Where and when would I find you launching?
Great story i just got started building rockets and im interested in buying a tracker like u used can u give me the name and perhaps were i can buy 1 thanks so much you build some beautiful rockets
Nice video just getting into rockets myself here I launch weed rockets when I was younger say like age six to ten years old then once at summer camp when I was sixteen it’s been like seven years since I launched a rocket and I just launched four rockets last weekend Bought a pack of Estes C6-7 to replace my B6-4 so should have more power on my next launch I don’t think my rockets will be as powerful as your second big daddy rocket bc that is on a whole mother level 😂 but eventually if I stick with it I might join a club and get into that sorta stuff I know there are at least two that I’ve found in Connecticut not sure if they are still active I’ll have to find out
Wow! Watching in Aug. 2024. I’m glad you found the rocket, (what a mystery), and I hope it flies again!
That Bigger Daddy was pretty bad ass.
Awesome story and it made me smile, which is worth a lot!
Awesome video, well done. Glad you got it back, want to see that beast soar again!
good build quality, let it fly again!
That thing absolutely yeeted off the pad ! :0

That Bigger Daddy takeoff was insane! Obviously, the kinetic speed at the time of deployment was too much.
Nice production, well done. I'm happy for you that you got the rest of your rocket back. I noticed that you did a great job on the fin fillets.
I'm doing the same thing pretty much, that video was great!! I've been writing my name on the NC and BT for years!! Great video/Info!!
6800’?!? That’s crazy, very cool.
Thanks for sharing! My son had so much fun watching your story unfold. He'll be launching just first rocket this weekend!
well done. am sure some kevlar and verify securing the cord will help. look forward to your next launch.
The way he says “big daddy” kills me
Inspirational
Excellent video! Glad you got it back!

Imagine if you stuffed some kind of paratrooper in there

Great story!
nice job!
Good story! Fun video.
Great story i just got started building rockets and im interested in buying a tracker like u used can u give me the name and perhaps were i can buy 1 thanks so much you build some beautiful rockets
Very cool! Been doing larger rockets since then? You produced a REALLY GOOD video!
Need a bigger launch rod, that thing bent like crazy.
most separation happen because of rotted out old shock cords. replace them every couple years.
Nice video just getting into rockets myself here I launch weed rockets when I was younger say like age six to ten years old then once at summer camp when I was sixteen it’s been like seven years since I launched a rocket and I just launched four rockets last weekend
Bought a pack of Estes C6-7 to replace my B6-4 so should have more power on my next launch
I don’t think my rockets will be as powerful as your second big daddy rocket bc that is on a whole mother level 😂 but eventually if I stick with it I might join a club and get into that sorta stuff I know there are at least two that I’ve found in Connecticut not sure if they are still active I’ll have to find out
Did you ever hear anymore of the story of the lost rocket? That's a pretty crazy story very cool that you got it back
Great Job here!! We are building a space company in Austin, Texas. I need you around. How can we connect?
Cool vid!
where have u been??? i love your rockets! they are so amazing.
Mine's bigger. Not only in girth, but length, as well. : P
Any news on how the shock cord snapped? Did it slice on the end of the airframe or other?
Wow !
Double up your shock cords.
I wana make a V2 out of one of those.
Haha:D awesome video!
Put your name inside.
