Do you guys count Estes "E" engines as mid power? I get the impression some don't.
Anyway I launched a scratch build modeled after the "Executioner" on a cluster of three E-9's. (I figure three might get me in the mid-power door even if some people think the Estes E's are a weak attempt at mid power)
Awesome flight. Just a small dot in the sky, any higher would have been out of sight. My RocketMan chute worked great and showed up really well. My SureFire II worked great.
Recovery was over in a cow pastuer across the street.
Couldn't have been any better.
It's funny how much stress is involved in a "first attempt" launch... will all the motors ignite??? YES!! ok... where's that chute??? YES!! ok, ok where's it going??? YES!!! LOL (at myself)
I love it.
