August Launch

[Michael Koppelman]

What a great launch.

Did Steve recover both his rockets? Did that L1 attempt by Daniel get
recovered and certified?

Got them both back. The big one sucked! Up to the knees in a swamp area, tons of thistle. My legs are cut up pretty badly from the thistle. Huge thanks to Bill Assimes for helping me. Can't believe he made it. Shows what prescription drugs will do. ;)

Daniel is now L1, tree recovery from what I understand.

My $100 mistake this time was forgetting the retainer ring at home. I
friction fitted the motor case and then taped it. It worked the first
time, failed the second time. So if you walk across a Pro54 single
grain case out there, let me know.

I did get some video from the second flight, which is kinda fun. I
just taped a little pen camera to the side of the rocket. I'll post
videos eventually.

How about everybody else? How did your flight(s) go?

Cheers,
M.
