This was a "make-up" launch, the field was too muddy last Saturday from all the rain. Few participants today, three regular club members and and few first timers launching their RTF Estes Pumas.
The ASP D REGION TOMAHAWK had an impressive boost with the A3-4t motor. Altitude was an estimated 500'!
Touch down was on the opposite side of the field under the long yellow streamer.
I'm always surprised how well the 13mm engines perform in a minimum diameter BT-5 tube.
The B6-4 was just about right with an altitude of 375'.
My new dog Dakota didn't bark or bat an eye during the launches.
She did appreciate her new shaded play pen.
The next dog "test" will be a camping trip later this month.
The Semroc MMX MARS LANDER was disappointing.
After clearing the launch rod, it looped and landed dislodging one of the lander leg fins. 10' high!
Even though the weather has been cooler lately, today was HOT!
Few flyers sent us home early.
My last rocket up was my GOONY X-15 with an Estes B6-4. Textbook flight with an easy recovery.
I only had four launches and wanted to get my dog cooled off! All recovered, no damages.
