Hi,
Kids, (2 at 11 years old) and I have been building a couple rockets for them. One is a LOC Graduator, and another is a LOC Minni Mag. It was a beautiful day today so we flew them both. Starting with some small engines for low flights. Flew the Graduator on a Estes E12-4. What a nice slow flight. Was just beautiful. 4 second delay was perfect as predicted and it looked great. Flew the Minni Mag on a Cesaroni G80-14A Skidmark. The fight was fantastic. Drilled the ejection delay to -9 but it was still a bit long (Rocksim said 4 sec and it was right). On only a 400' flight a one second longer delay is a big deal. Looked pretty dramatic when the ejection happened as it was only at about 200'. Was still a great recovery and a soft landing. Actually the second or two of dramatic recovery delay was great at such a low altitude. Had some friends over and with our kids it was a great show. Everyone was gasping as it was headed to the frozen tundra.
Very good day!!!
