"Wild Minion" Level 3 Certification flight

On Saturday, November 21, 2015, at the Tampa TRA launch on the Varn Ranch in Plant City, Florida, I had a successful L3 Certification flight.

The Wild Minion is a scratch built, dual-deploy, 111" x 7.67" Blue Tube 2.0 air frame, 29" FG nose cone, with 3/16" G10 FG fins, lift off weight 34.5lbs.
Winds were light with a high overcast. It flew on a CTI M1101W motor, quick off the rail and straight up. It was visible to apogee, altitude of 7,217'.
It drifted about 1/2 mile and landed softly in an open pasture, easy recovery...

I want to thank our two TPA's Jim West and Jim Harris, and our Prefect Dick Waters, for all their technical advise and support for this launch.

Looks great! I also enjoyed the M1101.

Woo hoo! Congrats. :headbang:

I snapped a couple pics of it too, congratulations!

Congrats!

Woo Hoo! Congrats!!

Way to go Leo. I'm bummed I missed the launch. It looked like an awesome flight.

CONGRATS!

Chris,

You inspired me to go big and go high...

Thanks,
Leo

Good photo's!

I took a video of the launch, but only kept the rocket in frame to the top of the rail. I got carried away watching...
If I can edit the video so that it's view-able, I'll post it.

Thanks for the additional photos,
Leo
