Titan II Mini Flight 7 - 12/26/2022

A8-3. Good flight, but the chute got burned together and didn't open fully. Fortunately it landed in a bush. Somehow, one of the clear plastic fins broke in half, which may have caused it to spiral in an erratic ascent. Altimeter spiked up to over 400', but according to the chart, the true apogee was 302.4'.

VK-7 Flight 3 - 12/24/2022

C6-5 (2). Perfect flight! Used the "toy" green chute, that didn't work too well. Came down a little faster than I would have liked it, but I was able to catch it before it hit the ground. On-board AstroCam died 1 second before I caught it! Great flight!

Wizard Flight 15 - December 3, 2022

D16-8FJ. Another attempt at hitting 2,000. Lost rocket right after liftoff. Never found it, until 18 days later (12/21/2022). A new battery in the FS Mini and she fired right up! Appears to have been a successful flight, as the chute deployed and it landed softly.
