Going out to my big event this coming holiday weekend to get my Level 3 certification with this monstrosity. And surprisingly for this time of year, it will be cool enough for me to wear my 21oz triple 6's to keep them fadez movin along. Will update with some fade photoas after the flight. Wish me luck!

This is Sir Hiss, and he is Patiently awaiting news of the Boss Cut and a restock of 18oz CPO shirts, as one does.

This photo isn't from today, but I spent a good portion of my evening working on this piece of madness. Level 3 High Power Rocketry certification flight is in september and there is a lot of construction/planning/testing still to go.

Figured I'd update with some pieces out of my collection. My style is a little all over the place, because I'm a weirdo haha...but hey, I like what I like.

Finally picked this up this year. It's a murphy lab R0, but I got a really good deal on it (around $3000.00 USD) from my local guitar center. First thing I did when I got it home was took some sandpaper to the back of the neck to make it feel more like a natural maple neck. Then swapped out the volume and tone knobs since I much prefer the gold top-hat look of the 59's. The pickups, however, in these historic re-issues are lots of fun...perhaps a little too much fun for my neighbors.......or my wife..

Hello everyone! My name is Chris, and I live in Oklahoma. I work for the U.S. Government (Radar, not FBI, settle down) and have been really focused on replacing my clothing with fewer, nicer things over the years. We generally don't have any high-quality clothing stores here, so my addiction sort of began when I got a hold of some nice Diesel jeans from Dallas, TX around 2010. They fit me perfectly. I then had them hemmed to the proper length and an addict was born. Bought my first pair of raw's in 2018 and have been looking for a cut I like ever since. I bought my first pair of IH's just at the beginning of 2025 (777-slb) and am currently lusting after a pair of 461's or...dare I say...463's if they do in fact revive them. I've been poking around the forum for the last couple of weeks, and I can tell it is a very friendly, very tight-knit (see what I did there?) community. I look forward to getting to know you all and sharing in fade and travel journeys alike.

@Twistlock not to my knowledge. I am, however, going to try and get some onboard video. If im successfull I'll post a link here. Will post any other footage of the event here as well.

Bartender says "Oy, what's with the steering wheel in your pants?
Pirate says "aarrrgggh its drivin me nuts"

@ShopatIronHeart How is the sizing on these? Should I use my measurements directly off a Brannock device? Or is it one of those "size up" or "size down" kind of situations?
Was looking at ordering a pair but with me being in the US would like to have the best shot at success on the first try.

@Matt I can't disclose that on here, but I'll happily fill you in at the Baltimore Party, or if you're ever able to make the Ultra Heavy Happy Hour zoom call.

@Go-For-Chill Unfortunately it does affect it. The rocket must be recovered and it must be in a condition that it could be immediately re-flown. So no certification for me womp womp lol.

@Giles we don't believe so. It may have come in ballistic but we never heard the "death whistle" my guess is that the main parachute came out before it was supposed to and it drifted several miles. Simulated altitude was around 15,000' AGL

Sorry for the late update. I don't imagine its uncommon to reluctantly broadcast our own failures. I had my Level 3 Certification attempt over the holiday weekend at the end of August. Everything went beautifully until it didnt.
The rocket punched a cloud and I lost visual on it with the binoculars. So I immediately shrugged it off, since I had onboard GPS tracking.
When I checked the GPS on my laptop, I had nothing. ZERO. Like it didn't exist. Long story short, the flight was the last I saw of it.

@Tago-Mago The trident is definitely less "Gangsta" than the chefs knife.

Flights booked! Need to book hotel, was curious where everyone was gravitating toward.

Looking for a (preferably) new pair of these in size 34 in case anyone bought a pair and doesn't care for them. Would settle for a worn pair if they were in good condition. Figured I'd check here after striking out completely on second hand sites.
