Paranoid Android on an N3300 to 6793 feet.

[Bat-mite]

Great flight on Saturday. My Performer 200, "Paranoid Android," was launched on an EX N3300 motor.

The video does not show the landing, but it was very close to the pad, as you can see in the one picture.

Here is an image from the GPS download. Kind of straight up and straight down.

what type of propellant?

what type of propellant?

Bob Utley designed a propellant similar to White Thunder, which he called "White Trash." So you could say it was an N3300WT.

Those are great shots!

did you use the same ginormous 98mm case you used of the O motor?

6800 feet? I'm surprised. Is that rocket really heavy? Was that really an N motor?

Fabulous pix, thanks!

No, it was a smaller 98mm. I think a six- or secen-grain.

It's about 80 lbs w/out the motor, so like 100 lbs on the pad. It simmed to much higher, so maybe it was a little light. The two O motor flights went to 15,754' and just over 13,000'. So figuring an N is half of that, 6793' seems reasonable.
