Frau Blucher

Nice flight.  Switchin' t' a streamer for next flight. Blimey! - B6-0/B6-6 - Clegg Sod Farm [More]

   

4" Doorknob

Flight

Textbook flight and recovery. Arrr! - H73-6 - Clegg Sod Farm [More]

   

Norman

Flight

Beautiful straight-up flight.  With a 32" parachute and a 2" spill-hole, it drifted a long, long way.  No damage. Avast! - E9-4 - Clegg Sod Farm [More]

   

Doorknob-2

Flight

Better liftoff and stagin' this time.  Booster still did nay rear-eject steamer; it fell and core sampled into soft ground.  Sustainer drifted quite a walk. Aye aye! - C6-0, arrr, B6-6 - Clegg Sod Farm [More]

Doorknob-2

Flight

T' B booster was underpowered.  It staged about 15' in t' air and sent t' sustainer cruise missile over t' flight line, shiver me timbers, landin' in soft dirt.  No damage t' either half. Blimey! - B6-0 B6-6 - Bunnell Blast 2011 [More]

   

3x Javelin

Flight

Stripped t' mylar 'chute at ejection. Flew horizontally into t' dirt. No damage. Needs a real parachute for next time. Blimey! - E20-7 - Bunnell Blast 2011 [More]

   

Aziz

Flight

Forgot t' trim t' delay before assemblin' t' motor. It had plenty o' down before deployment but it is a robust little rocket. Nice landing. - H128-M - Bunnell Blast 2011 [More]

   

2x Photon Probe

Flight

Bonus delay let t' rocket fly into t' parachute AGAIN. Begad! Another Estes dent in t' nose cone, matey, compression fractures all along t' spirals, and a seriouly loosened fin. Aye aye! Needs time on t' work bench. Well, blow me down! - E18-4 - Bunnell Blast 2011 [More]

   

Estes Pro Series Patriot

Flight

Another beautiful 4-motor flight - 4XD12-7 - Bunnell Blast 2011 [More]
