Off again to the land of Skunk Works, Speed, and Spaceship One...
Weather was what I call perfect. Warming from the mid-50s to mid 70's over the course of the 5 hour launch. That's 12C to 23C for the rest of the world on the planet. Winds were from 0 to no more that a slight breeze. Almost nothing to be concerned with.
When I pulled in I could hardly believe my eyes! What's Up Hobbies was there... my favorite crack er... CTI dealer! Turns out he was there to fly and not to sell! Way to go Jack G. About time you took time off.
However my first mission was to take all the lunch money I had save up and snap up some Aerotech Reloads. That mission was acomplished snapping up 3 J's (38/720) and 4 I's (2 38/360 and 2 38/480). Now devoid of money... I decided to warm up a pad or two before my main act on the day...
My Vaughn Bros Javelin on a CTI 164-H90CL-12 to with a MissileWorks RRC2 for apogee deployment (with motor backup set to 9 seconds). As you can surmise from the sane CTI labeling, this is a classic formula motor and is bare a H. More like a full G. It's a 29mm 3 grain load.
Glamour Shot.
Off we go to a RRC recorded 1661' (506m) - Which is almost spot on ROCSim's estimate now that I have it dialed in.
A happy ending.
