L1 Cert today: UP GOER FIVE

L1 Cert today on a PML Callisto Kit with a CTI 38mm 2G H120 Red

OR simmed to 2900 feet and the Altimeter 2 recorded 2890. Not bad

Had to have the nod to XKCD with "UP GOER FIVE" https://xkcd.com/1133/

And of course Jeb from Kerbal Space Program had to be onboard






Rocket on the launch pad with keychain video camera taped on.

Onboard video:

My son when I first showed him the rocket during the build.

trying to get the video to embed...

EDIT: Fixed it.

Awesome!

Congratulations

Congrats! I love the design!

Congrats.

Gotta ask - do you have a pair of Batman slippers too? You know, his and his? Cuz that would be cool.

Every kid loves a rocket taller than they are. Congrats on the cert.

great flight/video! I like the name too.

interesting launch site where there's all those roads and no houses on them. Planned subdivision that never got off the ground? (sorry for the pun)

Yeah, I think the company went bankrupt and no one ever finished it

Congratulations! Love the launch shot showing the mach diamonds and the distant cumulus.

I have a broader age range definition of kid apparently. Getting older is mandatory, growing up is not (at least in some aspects of life).

That H120 picture is utterly fantastic. Mine is blurred and small. What kind of camera gear was that taken with?

My shabby one -
