I think it drifted too long between the first and second stages and the safeguard kicked in on the third stage and deployed the parachute. It was a nice flight though!

 

[pyrobob]

Was the 2nd pair of air starts a mixture of propellant types? I looked at the flight card and it was something like a K-1400 ish, then airstarting a Green J and Red J, then airstarting a pair of H-110's.

Thanks Robert, I feel like I took on too much as RSO and pad manager and trying to get pictures and was only fair at each job .Next time I will get a helper and if you want pictures and I am busy you are welcome to get the camera and Go-Pro from me. Sorry I didn't get more of your flights.

I would be happy to help out with RSO and pad manager duty at the next launch Robert

Wow... A ton of my InteR/Ceptor in flight photos there.... An embarrassment of riches!

I hope you happened to get a few of my other white rocket glider I flew late in the day, the Douglas D-558-III Skyflash.
Would love to post them in the design build thread as I have none of that model in flight yet. (That was the test flight/first launch)

A huge thank you for both the RSO work and the photo work at this super launch.

those are the highlights on the interceptor, 8 frames a second captures a lot of near duplicates. I will look for the other plane but it might have been after I left. William was with me and I had to get him back on time.

I loved the pics! The ones of my MD going up were great! Thanks so much for doing that. I think I see a new TRF profile pick in the making.

That Go Pro really got a work out down in Asa, some really great shots at the pad. You might notice that my new avatar is one of your pics, tyvm :cool2:

 

[pyrobob]

Yes, very nice. Do you recall which motors are in each picture? I know the first is Poker's 3 x I140, there's an I280, probably a J425 and I140...

 

[firesalto]

Yeah my GoPro got some really nice shots out in ASA I wish I could've used it on more rockets out there. And I think the motors in the pic are I140W, H210R, I500T, Poker's 3 I140W, I280 sparky, H238T

Not a swim meet, holy crap there is hope.

 

[tab28682]

Crap. I will be trapped at work on Feb 13.

Ought to be back to normal schedule by Feb 27......

 

[pyrobob]

Probably less than 50:50 odds for me at Asa again. Much better for the DARS launch at end of month.

 

[grouch]

Any update on the possible ASA launch on the 13th?

 

[pyrobob]

Pretty sure it's still on. Sadly, it's a no go for me .

Not this week-end . I will be there but it is Valentine's day and my wife's birthday week-end, it is only by planning a big Friday and Sunday and paying for a Spa day on Saturday do I even get to go to Asa.

 

[RAHagen]

I should be able to make it!
