Launched a bunch of rockets today including my Semroc Defender. I loaded it with 3 Estes A8-3s and used Quest Q2G2 igniters twisted together and a Quest controller. WOW!:eyepop: That thing went up beautifully and came down nicely on it's 2 chutes. I just got a Semroc Goliath kit and I think I'll make it a cluster also.
I might get a Ranger or mod a Big Bertha too.
Good day if a bit breezy. The first rocket was my Semroc My Boid and I forgot to put in wadding. The chute melted and it came down hard enough to pop a fin. (the ground is hard here) Fixable though.
Big Bertha an a C6-3, beautiful as usual.
Semroc Centurion on a C6-3. Beautiful flight but one of the shroud lines sliced into a fin and it came down horizontally but gently. Very fixable.
My Samurai (Quest Superbird with Red Max like fins) flew smoothly on a B6-4 but my trashbag chute did not open well. It still kind of floated down on those big fins and had minor fixable damage.
Der Red Max on a B6-4. My favorite rocket just flies like a dream.
Put up my recently repaired (had popped a fin) Estes Viking on an A8-3. Great flight but it popped another (different) fin on landing. I wonder if it having 5 fins is increasing the chances of damage?
I put up my repaired Semroc Goblin, the most beat-up rocket in my fleet, on a C11-5. I love this crazy thing! Amazing flight and i will keep it flying.
Estes Blue Ninja on a D12-5. This thing has never disappointed me. The crowd pleaser of the day.
Quest Cobalt and an A8-3. Flew beautifully and got lots of laughs when I brought it out.
I had 2 more ready to go (Estes Alpha and Semroc Astro-1) but I was tired from chasing all of those rockets and called it a day.
What a good day it was too.
