My first ever cluster flight -- a Fliskits Richter Recker on three Estes E9-6s. What could go wrong?
The GOOD
My homemade cluster whip worked perfectly.
All three motors lit.
I did everything right.
The BAD
One of the E9-6 motors catoed.
The rocket separated under thrust just as it left the pad.
The UGLY
The booster suffered crinkling right above the fins.
The top of the booster zippered when it separated under thrust.
That is the second Estes E9 cato I've had in three years. And I don't fly very many of them. I will be filing a MESS report and contacting Estes.
