Flyers: 21

Flights: 35

Take a look at Emmett White's t-shirt and you'll understand the reasoning behind this rocket.

Emmett had flown smaller versions of his pig rockets, but the Porcuelos is the biggest yet.

The Porcuelos flew in October on an I-200 motor to an altitude of about 1800'.

Brian and Emmett White

Porcuelos up part was picture perfect indicating that the stability work done over the last few months was well worth it.

The down part had a slight snag resulting in something of a tumble recovery (photo below).

Emmett White returns with his pig-themed rocket Porcuelos while dad Brian drives the recovery vehicle. Jeff Dick rides along in back.

Don't be surprised to see Porcuelos fly again!
