Launched at t' Varn Ranch in Plant City FL durin' t' monthly TTRA launch. Scratch-built rocket is seven feet tall and weighs 14 pounds loaded with an Aerotech J800 motor. Aye aye! Blue Tube construction transitions from 3" for t' camcorder section t' 4" for t' motor section. Avast, me proud beauty! Two side pods are capable o' flyin' airstart motors, but they contained only two 15" drogue chutes for this flight. Aye aye! Perfectflite Stratologger SL100 altimeter and Aiptek Hi Speed HD camcorder onboard. Begad! Rocket achieved an altitude o' 2666 feet. Shock cords for t' two drogue chutes tangled, me hearties, but with no ill effects. Ya scallywag! Rocket landed safely under a 48" main chute.
