Launch of the Black Brant II
Launch of the Madcow Mini Black Brant II model rocket
Rocket length: 31.3"
Rocket diameter: 1.6"
Motor: Aerotech F26-9FJ
Propellant: Black Max
Status: currently lost in the woods, I hope to find it soon
Takeaways from this flight:
- The cloud ceiling was too low; I had checked with Environnement Canada (2300') but I guess it wasn't specific enough for the location, because I think we loose sight of the rocket before it reaches that altitude
- For a smaller launch site (in this case about 400' x 600') it would be better to choose a motor with a higher mean impulse for the same overall impulse, and a shorter delay for the ejection charge
