Flight
Straight boost but higher than expected apogee. Chute Release deployed 18" chute at 300'. Rocket touched down 2-steps from the spot I watched the launch. Shortest retrieval "hike" I ever had. Literally two-steps! One-two-pick up the rocket. - F50-6T - SARG - Gibson Ranch [More]
Bottle Bat 3.0 (Tube Fin)
Flight
Nice straight boost. Chute Release set for 300' feet but Bama Chutes 36" Roto-Sail didn't unfurl until 20-30 above ground. Exciting...not in a good way. No damage though - G77 - SARG - Gibson Ranch [More]

BAR Crayon 38mm

DarkMatterDay at the Ranch. Everyone had the same idea as the Ranch was still green and the grass was short. Won’t be that way next month!
Gorgeous weather and maximum attendance.
Straight boost, Chute Release set for 400’ and the Bama Chutes RotoSail was amazing.

Very short walk considering the ... [More]

Flight
Cold and windy but the launch went well. Chute Release set for 200' and deployment occured without incident. Surprisingly, the rocket touched down between me and the launch pad so the retrieval hike turned out to be less than 50 steps. - F50-6T - LUNAR - Snow Ranch [More]

Flight
Once again, the F50-6T motor for small field / low waiver boosting. The sky was overcast and the wind was chilly.
Love those F50 motors and bought four more from the Bay Area Rocketry, the onsite vendor. - F50-6T - SARG - Gibson Ranch [More]

Steppin' Razor (Tube Fin)
Flight
Launched on an F67-9W with delay drilled out to what I hoped was 6 seconds. Based on event at peak of arch over, it was a pretty good delay. Apogee estimated at 600’. In spite of breeze, the rocket landed about 50’ from pad. I couldn’t have been happier. - -9 - SARG - ... [More]
