Finally got around to my second high power launch using the mighty H242 T in a Cosmodrome Vostok. Built it stock, no glass or fancy motor retention and used a Dynastar 58?€? parachute to bring the booster section down nice and soft. Just paper and glue with a few metal parts and I maxed out all the weight restrictions at our launch site. With some expert advice on chute packing and delay drilling it was close to a perfect flight. The Gods were with us as the weather was calm, the chutes deployed and it landed in a nice spot in between the big boulder, rocket eating trees and the swamp. This little piggy sure soaks up all the quick power a motor can put out off the pad and slows down fast. With a little embellishment it looks good to.
