    Successful Jr. L1!


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZudhe6SeYE
    I got my Jr. L1 yesterday at MMMSClub in Berwick! I used an H128 in my scratchbuilt Skypunch. The flight went to somewhere around 1450 feet, and even with all of the wind the rocket landed only about 150 yards from the pad.

    Don't know about the rest of you, but I love seeing L1 Jr's happen! This is rocketry's future.

    Congrats Eggplant, and with a scratch built rocket at that!

    Whew, got that over with! Many congrats. Your Section president can show you the HPR secret handshake now, but you'll have to wait until you are 18 to learn the secret fist bump.

    That was a nice flight, BTW.

    Congratz, Egg!

    Nice flight. Looked like your bird landed just this side of the rough.

    Well done!
