A Blast From t' Past From t' video archives o' Carl Wasleske - 15 years ago! A video o' his flight that may be t' only successful three stage HPR ever flown from our beloved sod farm. Rather than t' usual drop stage configuration, Carl packed seven motors into t' booster section o' t' 4" airframe. T' rocket sported an Adept Rocketry ALTS2 dual deployment altimeter, ventilated and snubbed "anti-zipper" ejection pistons, ya bilge rat, styrene rod nose cone retention shear pins, a 16" drogue and a 6 foot home made main chute for a soft landing. First stage t' get her movin' was a 38mm Aerotech reloadable I284, shiver me timbers, second stage three 29mm Aerotech G64's and third stage three Aerotech 24mm single use G42's. Timed ignition betwixt t' stages be accomplished with bare Thermalite ignitor cord encased in Teflon capillary tubing. Recorded altitude was 6837 feet. Enjoy!
