Estes CC Express

[billeblurzz]

Yesterday I launched an Estes CC Express on c11-0 to c11-5. What a quick and very high flight! Can't imagine what a d powered flight would do? Spent most of afternoon looking for it in an open field!

Congrats on finding it!

I always like to see people trying the lowest impulse motor configuration on multistage rockets first!

You may need a tracker if you go D to D

Yeah, double congrats ! Based on your picture, that "open field" full of corn stubble is not the easiest place to find a downed rocket. Couple of things you may already know: multiple sets of eyes are invaluable in tracking stages, a nice aluminized mylar streamer for the sustainer increases the odds in your favor.

And beepers, they can help in that situation. The sound carries well in the mostly open space, and you at least know which direction to walk.

Also doesn’t hurt to have your name and phone number somewhere on the rocket.

Definitely one of my favorite rockets!!
