My trademark look. This uses an Aerotech 29mm H165-14 reloadable motor. The previous BW&R rocket I posted uses a 24mm motor. I will use this rocket soon to get my L1. My Flightsketch Mini tells me my rocket had an apogee of 12180 feet. This sounds dubious to me. Rocksim said it should go 2300'. Also wondering if the "Mini" is not subtracting the 5260' launch elevation. Something here requires some investigation. Also need to find a better recovery system because parachute got tangled. Maybe too much ejection charge. Rocket ended up 450 feet downrange.

E12-0, E12-6. First test as a 2-stage rocket using a homemade booster. Staging went perfectly. ACE opened at apogee with JLCR set for 300' on a 36" Mylar chute. With JLCR in tow, rocket came down nose-first at a high velocity. Upon Chute Release, the jolt snapped the hatch off the ACE unit, causing the rocket to lawn dart in. Most items can be repaired. The only casualty was the on-board camera, which we were able to recover some of the flight footage.

C6-3. Broke the 100' mark, but at a certain velocity, the wings begin to fold up, stopping vertical velocity. Chute didn't deploy all the way, but zero damage to the rocket. Great fun!

RS1 Flight 1 - 7/28/2022

B6-4. Maiden flight. Converted from Baking Soda/Vinegar fuel to solid rocket motor. Great little kit for this conversion and flew just fine. Didn't quite hit the 100', so will try again with a "C" motor.

Yankee Flight 7 - 7/28/2022

C6-5. Not a very good flight. Motor ejected out instead of pushing the chute forward. Rocket lawn darted in and buckled front 1/2" of the body tube. Can be repaired. May have broken the camera and altimeter, as neither are working right now...... although I was able to download the data from each before they died.

Generic E2X Flight 2 - 7/28/2022

B4-4. Second flight and still as good as ever! Baffle works flawlessly. Was able to catch it on landing! Great fun! Perfect flight!

Semroc Aerobee 150 - QJet E26-7W

7/23/22: SEVRA Woodville, NC field. One or two chuffs on the pad (just like the other motor from this two-pack) and then away. Should have stuffed my Jolly Logic chute release in there, drifted quite a ways, landing in crops. Sharp-eyed club members located it (I'd walked well past it).

Alpha III (8) flight 21

B6-4. About as nominal as an Alpha III on a B6 flight could be...though data show the ejection was a bit early. The delay, however was (for once) spot on.

AstroCam flight 23

C6-5. Nice straight boost and reasonably good 'chute. However, I must have botched starting the camera, as there is no video. *sigh*

Hydra 7

B6-4, C6-3, C6-3

Green Eggs flight 16

D12-5. One ION got 658. The other got 736. The high ION reading was from a spike in the data at ejection. See attached plot.

Blue Origin Flight 4 - 7/4/2022

C5-3. Picture perfect flight! Textbook! Carried very special cargo aboard in the payload bay: Capsule from Titan II 1:200 missile (AMT Man In Space Collection), model of space shuttle, actual Judean coin from 40-45 A.D.

Saturn V Flight 9 - 7/4/2022

C5-3. Another perfect flight. I love the C5 motors over the C6 on scale rockets. 18" chute brought it down softly.

NASA SLS Flight 9 - 7/4/2022

C5-3. Perfect flight. I love the performance of the C5 over the C6 on scale rockets. 18" chute brought it down nice and soft.

Citation Patriot Flight 14 - 7/4/2022

C6-3. Another frustrating flight. 24" chute got hung up and the top of the body tube and didn't deploy. Hard impact. Scrunched the body tube and broke a fin. Perfect flight......up till the end!

Generic E2X Flight 1 - 7/4/2022

A8-3. Maiden Flight. Gifted Rocket from Joe (JC Hobbies). Looking forward to seeing what it can do with more power, but all went well. Ejection Baffle proved effective and flight went perfectly!

Der Red Max Heavy (3) F42

NOTRA Launch 7-2-2022. Only 2 of 3 lit, so low flight. Also d-bag hung up on shroud line... broke a fin on hard landing. Will fly again after repairs.

Der Red Max Heavy on G80-NBT

NOTRA Launch July 2, 2022. 1st flight of the Der Red Max HEAVY rocket. This is 3 Estes Der Big Red Max Kits combined with some extra parts and pieces. Recovery Ejection is Eggtimer Apogee, with center motor as backup... This was a test-flight with only one G80 motor. Flight went really well. STABLE. Nice off the rail. Dead straight boost with no spin. Apogee close to that predicted by the Open Rocket simulation. Eggtimer Apogee did it's job. Only thing was, it's a little fast on landing...

Unicorn Dreams on G80-6NBT

NOTRA Launch JULY 2, 2022. LOC Precision. 4"T-Loc w/ Stickershock23 vinyl wrap.
