Conner,,,,,,
It hasn't been up yet...........
I plan on a Mid weight H for the maiden flight,,,,
Maybe to 1800 or 2000 Ft or so.............
After the maiden and a few more flights,,,,,
say to 4000 FT ( that's about how high I am comfortable with at my home field ) when it's proven,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
As best as I can figure, there was an unfortunate wind gust as the rocket was leaving the rail, causing it to windcock severely. There was almost a 10:1 TTW ratio off the pad, and it was moving decently off the pad, so I don't think that was the problem. neither rail button was damaged, and after looking at a frame by frame, the turn didn't start until about 6ft off the rail, so I doubt it caught on the edge of the rail.
As for the unfortunate touchdown, when I disassembled the motor, I found a big hunk of char, ash, and unburned material over the hole connecting to the charge well. Thus the charge never fired. The BP all dumped out of the case when I turned it upside down to inspect it, and the red cap was found undamaged in the rocket.
There's no damage, but the nose cone is scratched and will need to be repainted. At the next launch (This Sunday) I plan to try again with the same motor, assuming lower winds.
I really gotta hand it to Wildman (and Rocketpoxy) everything on the rocket, attachment points and the tube itself, held up like a champ!
Titan could you private message me have some questions about your experience with flying this one, i just built one as well with a single shakedown flight so far.
