2012-06-09Frau Blucher Flight Nice flight. Switching to a streamer for next flight. - B6-0/B6-6 - Clegg Sod Farm [More]
4" Doorknob Flight Textbook flight and recovery. - H73-6 - Clegg Sod Farm [More]
Norman Flight Beautiful straight-up flight. With a 32" parachute and a 2" spill-hole, it drifted a long, long way. No damage. - E9-4 - Clegg Sod Farm [More]
Doorknob-2 Flight Better liftoff and staging this time. Booster still did not rear-eject steamer; it fell and core sampled into soft ground. Sustainer drifted quite a walk. - C6-0, B6-6 - Clegg Sod Farm [More]
2011-11-12Doorknob-2  Flight The B booster was underpowered. It staged about 15' in the air and sent the sustainer cruise missile over the flight line, landing in soft dirt. No damage to either half. - B6-0 B6-6 - Bunnell Blast 2011 [More]
3x Javelin Flight Stripped the mylar 'chute at ejection. Flew horizontally into the dirt. No damage. Needs a real parachute for next time. - E20-7 - Bunnell Blast 2011 [More]
Aziz Flight Forgot to trim the delay before assembling the motor. It had plenty of down before deployment but it is a robust little rocket. Nice landing. - H128-M - Bunnell Blast 2011 [More]
2x Photon Probe Flight Bonus delay let the rocket fly into the parachute AGAIN. Another Estes dent in the nose cone, compression fractures all along the spirals, and a seriouly loosened fin. Needs time on the work bench. - E18-4 - Bunnell Blast 2011 [More]
Estes Pro Series Patriot Flight Another beautiful 4-motor flight - 4XD12-7 - Bunnell Blast 2011 [More]
2011-08-13Miss Mannelin Flight Struggled into the air. Landed safely but with a giant dent at the front of the body tube. - E9-4 - Clegg Sod Farm [More]
