Interesting. The slow-mo of the lift-off provides some "feedback" if you will regarding the rigidity of the pad it flew from.

Good catch. I'm going to have to go back and look at the video I have of the same airframe on an M1500 green and see if it did anything similar. I'm just starting to go back in with these fight videos and slow things down to look at the events in more detail. It has helped me resolve a few inconsistencies with the recovery gear.

Great photos, all!

NSL was a good time. Nice field, nice weather Saturday, a little tougher on Sunday.

Great photos of my two flights, @rfjustin - thanks!

I will be back...

Flight stills from 5200 and 7100.

The windmill farm is pretty expensive. Great field.

Those are stills taken from the mobius cameras I use.

Here's a few stills from my 2-stage stretched Terrier/Sandhawk (I-345 -->H-110) launched on Sat. Somehow the video lost sync with the sound (time for a new camera). Sep charge at BO + 0.6 s, with sustainer ignition at BO + 1.2 s, controlled by an Eggtimer Proton. Final apogee at 4158 ft. I had telemetry all the way from the Eggtimer module. Both parts landed with JLCRs very near their launch pad!

Hats off and congrats to Curtis Reynolds and the rest of the Indiana Rocketry crew for a great NSL East. There were plenty of pads, almost no lines, and one of the largest launch sites you'll ever see this side of the Mississippi.

There were also more L through M flights put up here than I've ever seen at a launch. With but one notable exception, they all worked.

Thanks again for a great extended weekend!

I would love to take credit for such a great time, but the real credit goes to all of the volunteers who gave so generously of their time and talents. Any special recognition should go to our event director Randy Milliken. Organizing an event like this is like herding cats. Much thanks to all, and we hope you will come back and fly with us again.

That was a very cool flight Al. Always great to see you out there.

Justin --

I think I recognize this rocket:


Did you fly the K700 ?

That inverted mushroom cloud looks 'White Lightningish'

And it looks like it landed OK too:

EDIT: I just saw that Apogee was 10,147 feet in Dynacom Python (3.3" OD) Build Thread post #117 ... WOW ! ... How high did it fly ?

EDIT: How do you find time to take the great pictures and still fly rockets ?
