Glasspacks' LVL II Build

[BrendanH69]

Good luck with the cert at LDRS Paul. Great looking rocket .

Its been a journey along which I learned new things too, so good luck for your flight!

 

[Glasspack]

First off, Thank You Kevin,
and again, all of you on the Forum

The prep today was a little irritating due to my GPS tracker going from nine satellites to zero, then back to seven or nine. Adding to my worry. But overall everything went pretty smoothly.

LVL 2 Cert flew beautifuly.
The Cessaroni J295 performed flawlessly, Not sure why, but the JLCR that was set for 1000 ft was unable to restrain the chute. I will have to be more aggressive with the shake test.....

At about 4814 ft the main opened up and sent it out of the park. My son and I, (with my brother helping) trekked through the thick growth along Highway B, thankfully, the BRB900 led us right to it.




The branch it caught was a dead one. The correct amount of leverage and taa daa ....
complete recovery.



What a nice
day......

LVL-II success !!

Congrats Glasspack !

I know ... you wanted to keep your beautiful paint job out of the mud ...

Is that why you 'aimed' for the single dead branch in that tree at the edge of the thicket ?

-- kjh praying that the corn has been harvested and all the tree branches are dead branches next Saturday when I go for my Level 2 re-cert

Had a great time chatting with you at LDRS.

Well the goal was to have started the Dual Deployment testing and dial in the Black powder charges
for my "Antares IV", But, life takes priority and I have been helping take care of my wife after her surgery
and then my precious mother as she went to hospice care. Mom passed away this afternoon (Sept 12, 2023)

She was an amazing person and a WONDERFUL mother........ R.I.P. MOM

Some time after the funeral service and all that is settled ..... Then I can get it ready for actual
Dual Deployment flights..... Maybe... with a little bigger motor
