Well, today we had the perfect weather (or at for January) for flying rockets.......... Totally clear and little or no wind....... The temp was in the mid-40s, but not too bad.......
First I need to say that I forgot my cheap digital camera at home, so I have no pictures...... I will post some here when Rocketjunkie uploads some to our website.......
We had a fair amount of flyers there today with a lot of good flights....... I didn't get to see all of them as I spend a lot of time prepping my own rockets......... I was unable to fly my LOC Expeditor on a hybrid, as the hybrid guy hurt has back and didn't set-up the ground support equipment..... (next month!!!)
I did pull my electronics sled out of the Expeditor and put it in my Electronics bay for my Aerotech Wart-hog........ I didn't actually do dual deployment, just used my RRC2 for altitude reporting....... The first flight for the Wart-hog was on a G40....... I mainly fly my Wart-hog on F motors, so this G kicked it into overdrive....... 1330' was what I got........ So, seeing how G40 worked, I decided to try a G80...... Another great flight, much quicker off the pad...... I was surprised at the results...... 1235'..... 95' lower than the G40 ......... I just looked on the Aerotech site and found that both have 120ns total impulse, the G40 has a 3 second burn time and the G80 has a 1.5 second burn time........ I might try a H128 next month.....
Next I prepped my deuce's wild, "Double Trouble" With 2 C6-5s it was another great flight....... I must say, that while it was coming back down, I was thinking about an upscale Deuce........ Maybe not a 38mm upscale, but maybe a 24mm version..... (oh, I heard someone talking about a 54mm version.........)
Then I put a F50-4T in my LOC Onyx........ This is just a fun little rocket...........
Then as our waiver was almost over, I got out another F50-4T and put it in my Sprint....... After a quick 5 count and a button push there was a nice big bang......... CATO!!!!! (first and only one of the day, just my luck)........ there is pretty good nice hole in the motor tube......... maybe 1" X 3"...... Don't know what I am going to do with it.........
With only 10 minutes left, I tried to get my Estes MK-109 ready with a C6-5, but the motor wouldn't fit....... I tried two different motors, same result....... Oh well......
So that is my report. Once again, sorry no pics....... Maybe Rocketjunie will add his .02...........
