Hello all –

 

Seems like forever since I posted one of these.  Tony’s been taking care of things the past year or so with our sporadic launch schedule.

 

Pretty impressive totals for a launch shut down two hours early due to wind!  The one think that seems to be missing is the failure stats.  There was only one flight recorded as a Recovery Failure, but I know of at least three flights (some with pictures posted here) that did a pretty good job of shortening the models without removing any parts.  I also heard at least two Cato’s, but no Motor Failures were listed.  Any help in updating these stats is welcome.

 

Anyway, enjoy the following.  I’ll be adding the L1/L2 Cert flight info tomorrow.

Jack,

My Mirage launched on a G80-7T and suffered a recovery failure. I don’t see that in your table.

Hi Jack,

We were so busy, I totally forgot about writing down failure stats. In the morning I was both LCO and Low Power SCO. I forgot to tell the young lady who took over for me about writing down failures though I do remember writing down notes on at least two flight cards.

Bill
