Accomplished one of this year's goals over the weekend, with progress toward another and an unexpected bonus goal.
I took advantage of our high school students doing a test launch for the NASA Student Launch program, and got my L2 on a 2.6" Madcow Arcas fiberglass kit on a CTI 38mm J285 with dual deploy under a Chute Release. It was a beautiful flight, also putting me one step closer to flying every one of CTI's propellants (still missing Vmax, Imax, and C-star). The launch was 4 hours' drive from home in Seattle in chilly Eastern Washington where there was 4-8" of snow on the ground and occasional holes to the knee. The bonus goal was a new recovery method--snowshoe!
