Best of luck today.
You left chute in back of our Jeep. I spent 2 hrs carefully digging a rocket out of clay, only about 14in deep but solid hard goo clay.
Yes I have your closure also. We couldn't figure out where you went. I found 5 minute epoxy from someone but balm... you were gone.
We have to drive 1.5 hrs [Augusta] get there around 12.00
Everything left set-up for tomorrow, they stopped due to rain.
See ya Sunday Sent PM with my phone #
For those wondering. His shock cord was too short [7-8ft] considering the added nose weight. Cord broke free from being glued to inside of fincan wall during ejection.
For emergency repair we drilled hole through airframe and inserted Kevlar pulled home & figure 8 knot keeps it from pulling through hole.
Now cord is 18-20ft long & should function fine.
I brought a H-123 with me just in case.....LOL I read where he was coming to our club & knew our vendor would not be there.
He drove a long way & I want him to have 2nd shot at his L-1. Had I got there before his attempt, I would have stopped it and made him add more shock cord.
Just got L1.
Just got L1.
Congratulation Andrew, great job on your Cert.
Now you can relax and have fun flying.
Remember to practice folding the chute and shock cord, & prepping your rocket for flight. It will get much easier with practice!
