or just put a faster motor into it and punch it hardIm really hoping the wind will die down still a couple days away so here's hoping.
If not might have to fight the GO Fever and delay my L2 until Mini-Midwest.
What better way to test out a brand new rocket, tracker, altimeter and, well, everything, than by flying it to over 11k!? I'm joking, go fever does suck, but you have to be confident and ready for the flight. Good luck on the L2 cert flight!Well it's a brand new rocket, new gps, new altimeter, new everything really. I've never done dual deploy. Never used a tracker. You can only do so many ground tests but for its first flight I'm gonna keep it a little lower. The K1440 simulated to over 11k lol
So which motor are you flying on? Going DD or motor eject?Well it's a brand new rocket, new gps, new altimeter, new everything really. I've never done dual deploy. Never used a tracker. You can only do so many ground tests but for its first flight I'm gonna keep it a little lower. The K1440 simulated to over 11k lol
If you haven't done DD before, please use the motor eject backup, assuming the delay isn't too short. It'll save you from a lawndart if your electronics go kafloopy.Going with a J381 DD, haven't convinced myself either way on motor backup or not to. Using rrc3 for main, and main backup "aux main+2" sims at around 4K.
Kurt- the non-mwp launches fly off of the "path" that leads up to the barn. So only recovery would be in the wet fields, not the launch itself.Weather tomorrow there look acceptable? If rain overnite, still O.K. to fly on wet field without landowner concern? Kurt
I can tell you two mistakes you've made already. The motor is supposed to be in the rocket, and the rocket is supposed to be pointing upwardswouldn't mind getting someone to give the ol bird the once over see if I forgot something or if I made a mistake.
OK Kurt. I keep looking at this every time you post it, and I still haven't figured out what I'm looking at besides google map of the area.... :blush: :confused2:Perfectamundo for everyone then. I'll leave the announcement up.

Look at the right. There is a selection for how much of a time slice you want to see. All the stations transmitted in 1, 3, 6 hours etc. and how long a tail one wants to see. That's for tracking but if one hits "track all" all the stations in the area show up and there is an amateur weather station in Walnut to the northwest and one to the East. They're blue circles with WX in the middle. Most stations display temp, winds, rain, barometric pressure and can click on them and see graphs on the reported data. Some stations are up to date some go down but it's a resource one can look at for making decisions. A reliable weather station next to a launch siteOK Kurt.

Ty and I believe Mini-MWP is May 27-28Congrats on your L2!
I wish I could have made it today. Weekends have been busy lately. What weekend is Mini-MWP?
