Flight Description:

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.
