The new PIGLET-SUS! flew well with a MMX engine.Micro rockets are great for the first flight of the day. It's a good way to check your controller and and make any rod angle adjustments for wind higher than 75 feet up.
These Micro engines always take a second longer to ignite. I always think I may have to change out the batteries in my controller, but then the Estes and Quest igniters work quickly.
The downscale carded PATRIOT got over 500' on it's A3-4t engine. At apogee I lost sight of it for a few seconds.
It landed a little too hard on the basketball court at the top of the picture.
The black fin with the Patriot name was broken off and lost on landing.
Time to print off another set of fins.

The Odd'l Rockets SPUTNIK had a boost with an Estes A10-3t
This is a featherweight recovery model and will gently fall with the ball end first.
The ball hit the grass, bounced and stood on all four legs! This is the landing picture. No really - it landed like this.
Last in the air was the Starlight JAYHAWK.
Vertical flight and full parachute recovery on an Estes A8-3. I would estimate 300' altitude.

The downscale MMX version of the Odd'l Rockets BREAK-AWAY.
At ejection, only three of the four sections separated.
