Did you ever have one of those days?Florida is finally cooling off after a long, hot Summer. This morning at the small playground field had clear skies and no wind.
The MMX Cloud Hopper blew his head off again! I had to walk the landing area a few times to find it.
I think a Headless Bunny is appropriate for Halloween.
At recovery, I caught the MMX Sky Shriek. I didn't move after pressing the launch button, it came down within arms reach. But - one of the fins broke off when it hit my hand, I couldn't find it. Time to print more cardstock fins.
The downscale A-20 Demon has a great, straight boost. There's lots of delay smoke in the 35 year old MPC 1/2A3-3m enignes, but not enough ejection charge. The nose cone blew, but it still came in balistic. The top end of the BT-20 is bent but reinserting the nose cone shoulder should help round out the tube again.
The only real success was the MMX downscale Sky Writer. That little, skinny rocket can do no wrong. Big altitude for a MicroMaxx and streamer deployment.
1 out of 4? Better to have bad luck today than in front of the R.O.C.K. section launch tomorrow.
