The theme for this event was "Clusters". I flew only one clustered rocket, the Upscale MicroMaxx Mosquito.
Still kind of tired from my long trip, I didn't really fly much. Mediocre performace and one truely stupid mistake.
My Flight Results:
Owner | Rocket | Engine | Notes | Alt | Results |
Jeff | Bic Arcas | Quest MicroMaxx | tiny parachute | 60 | cold morning. Sat on the pad for a long time. Flew nice but chute didn't open. |
Jeff | Clone Estes Mosquito | Quest MicroMaxx | Ejectable pod | 40 | Perfect on second try (dirty clips) |
Jeff | 1.1x Upscale Mosquito | Quest MicroMaxx 3x Cluster | streamer | 15 | Only one motor ignited. Ejected ok but lit one of the other motors from behind and fried the shock cord and inside of bt. Some blisters near the top. |
Jeff | Estes Big Daddy | Estes D12-3 | Three way Drag Race | 40 | Unstable off rod and cruise missile down-range. Ejection ok |
Jeff | NCR SA-14 Archer | Aerotech H-128-M RMS | Striped down to <3.3lbs - single chute | 1000 | Beautiful launch and long coasting flight. Separation due to failure to reconnect top end of shock cord after reconfiguring. Upper section fell flat and was not damaged. |
