While I have flown a few mid power rockets before, the Xray-1 https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?t=11704&highlight=xray-1 was
my first purpose built mid power rocket.
I loaded it up with two E9 motors, put it on my Holverson designs launch pad,
and let her fly. It was great,(for the most part). Very straight boost, parachute opened at apogee. Everything was perfect.
Then it happened. It just kept drifting!:y:
If you look hard enough you can see where it ended up. And I do mean up.
Way up in the top of a tall tree.
