L1 BW&R Rocket

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.

Citation Patriot Flight 19 - 7/8/2023

D20-8W. ACE deployed at apogee, but the chute got hung up in something and never opened. Rocket lawn darted in. Broke the ACE, FS Mini, GPS, and one fin. Will easily be repaired and electronics replaced (except the FS Mini).

RAV-3 Flight 7 - 7/8/2023

E12-6. Perfect flight, but apparently the back-up chute wasn't attached correctly and departed the rocket. The rocket came down under the main just fine.
