Sunday was the best day for flying I think I've ever seen. There were NO winds aloft!!! The only winds were below 500ft and they were only 2 - 3 mph.
Jim, the Dog Whistler on Friday ended up 5,100 ft from the pads as close as I could measure it on the topo map. I think the main might have deployed at apogee, but that was the 10th flight and it never did that before and none of the charges or anything was different this time. There was enough haze that no one saw the chute. Everyone heard the apogee event, but the rocket was never seen in the air again.
I did have my first confirmed apogee deployment of the main on Grapeshot on Sunday. I flew it with a K550W. It hit 6402 ft and the main deployed. It must have just barely come out because the forward cord was tangled with the drogue. It took over 5 minutes to come down. At 500 ft it started moving north toward US-15 and landed 300 yds from the pad, about 100 yards past that small group of trees. Now I'm wishing I had gotten another Pro54 L935 and flown that! What a day to fly them HIGH!
I also flew the Estes Leviathan on a H128W and it should have hit about 2,500 ft. I was standing at the LCO table, 200 ft from the pad, and it landed 4 steps away from me. You just can't get any better then that!
Jim, the boost glider was really cool. Hope the second landing didn't mess it up. It looked a little harder then the first one.
