I scratch built this egg-lofter for the AARG Rockamole Regional C Eggloft Duration event. It uses an egg capsule from Apogee Components. Rocksim says it will heave an egg up around 500' AGL on a C. I guess we'll see about that .

Rockamole is tomorrow and the launch lug is drying now. I have decided that I can stuff a 24" chute into this little guy and reasonably expect it to deploy.
