Very nice! Good luck with the flight!
The lighter for that charge opened up. No continuity on it after I recovered it. No bad damage, just the nosecones tip hard enough to bend the bolt holding it in. Should be an easy fix.
The altimeter showed good continuity on the pad. I have set up charges this way for years with no problems. Not sure what caused this one to fail. Repairs should be easy enough though. We have another launch scheduled for the 25th. Will try again then. And yes, Warp-9 makes it leave in a flash. I love it!Was there continuity before? That's disconcerting. But looked good on the way up! Man, that really left the pad in a hurry. Glad to hear it will be an easy fix.

Warp- Nine Baby!!!That sure did have some giddy-up...
Although it's not particularly sharp, I really like this one:I was quite pleased with it. It only went to 2500 feet. that ring makes for a lot of drag..... One of our club members takes the photos and posts them on smugmug. Does a great job on them. Thanks Chris!!!

What part of the country do you fly in? I do travel some....Yeah, I'd love to see it fly in "real life".

Champaign Il. May go to Airfest next year and always try to go to Midwest Power and mini Midwest. Will bring it to all of those if I haven’t crashed it....I'm in SE PA, I usually fly at MDRA (Maryland - Delaware), but I have family in Wichita and have thoughts of trying to fly at Argonia one of these years. I also have family in Michigan and I've flown in Muskegon once.
Are you in central Illinois? I was at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign a few years ago for a thing.
