Dusting the rocket garden in my third bedroom/home office/maker space I am reminded that the white one on the left there is yet to fly.

I actually made this semi-scale flying model of the Gilmour Space Eris rocket way back in December 2022 but I killed the camera during assembly, then it took ages to source a replacement (they were discontinued), and by the time I got the replacement all momentum had been lost and I never got around to installing it and flying the rocket.

I really should make time to actually launch it. I will, of course, regard any flight of at least 14 seconds duration a huge success.
