Finally have my LOC 4" IRIS ready to launch. First HPR built after getting out of the hobby 22 years ago. Ground testing completed successfully. Needed 1.5g for primary deployment and .75g for drogue. Main altimeter is Eggtimer Quasar which was ground tested with vacuum chamber and Christmas light bulbs to make sure I put everything together correctly. Backup is Missleworks RRC3. Both are powered by 2S LiPo's with everything mounted to my CAD designed and 3D printed sled.
Unfortunately the clubs around here (N. Texas) both had their launches this past weekend so I'll have to wait almost a month before it's first flight. Which will be on either a J275W or a J315R. Ready to flight weight (minus motor) is 8.8lbs and RockSim says both will take it to around 2900-3000'. That will probably give me time to put together the 4" Madcow Little John as well that I picked up from a member on here.
