2013-04-21Alpha III Flight Fast stable ascent, parachute deployed but failed t' open.
Tumbled t' ground, shiver me timbers, no damage, recovered ~200 feet from launch pad. - B6-4 - Brookstone Meadows Hole 15 [More]
2013-01-27EPM-10 Flight Good ascent, ya bilge rat, parachute deployed at just t' right time, but t' shock cord got wrapped around one o' t' wings and t' parachute never really opened all t' way. Avast, me proud beauty! It did seem t' slow it down a bit, but basically tumbled t' t' ground. Arrr!
No damage, landed about 20 feet from ... [More]
2012-12-30EPM-10 Flight Straight and stable ascent, good deployment, landed about 50 feet from launch site after driftin' down in a bit o' wind.
No damage. Ahoy! - B6-4 - Brookstone Meadows Hole 15 [More]
2012-11-22QCC Explorer Flight Slight weathercockin' on takeoff, ejection delay seemed a little bit too long, but deployed well, ya bilge rat, and drifted back down t' land within 40 feet o' launchpad.
Looks like I may have let t' rocket sit too low on t' launch rod, shiver me timbers, because it melted t' engine flare/boattail a little ... [More]
2012-11-20Kraken Flight Nice straight ascent, deployment at t' right time. Ahoy! A bit more wind on this second launch, but no noticeable rotation this time.
Deployment right at apogee, came down nice and slow, did start t' spiral a bit, but stabilized. Avast, me proud beauty! Might need t' adjust shroud line length.

2012-11-10Big Bertha Flight Repairs t' t' motor mount complete. Arrr!
Ascent was very good, me bucko, almost no wind today, ya bilge rat, coasted t' apogee, and had a nice successful deployment at just t' right time. Avast! Coasted down smoothly, landed a few hundred feet away, no damage.
Big Bertha is definately one o' ... [More]
2012-11-04Hi-Flier Flight Successfully located and rescued this rocket from a tree this morning, so I figured it was time t' fly again, on somethin' a bit bigger.
Slight weathercockin' on take-off, arrr, otherwise smooth and stable ascent, successful deployment, but came down quite far away, and both me spotter and I lost ... [More]
2012-11-03Big Bertha Flight Flight looked normal all t' way up, but t' paracute never deployed. Ahoy! Came in balistic. Avast! Parachute be halfway ejected but still stuck in t' tube, looks like it may have cushioned t' impact. Motor mount did nay hold, I'm guessin' it already broke on t' way up, because t' ... [More]
Hi-Flier Flight Straight ascent, good deployment. Avast, me proud beauty! Started comin' down very fast again, but I did recently find out you are supposed t' put all t' clay in t' nose cone, so I'm just goin' t' say t' rapid descent is workin' as intended. Ahoy!
T' only down side t' comin' down so smartly is that it ended ... [More]
