Next was another Goony missile, the Nike-G. But I wasn’t trying for a theme. I would’ve brought the Patrioony along if I were. This was an entry in the A Spot Landing contest. Last night I went looking for a rocket that would weigh in just slightly under the 85 grams pad weight Estes recommends as maximum for the A8-3, and that turned out to be the Nike-G. I’d never normally fly it on an A, probably not even a B, but it worked well for the contest. It struggled up, arced down, popped the chute very late, and came down 10′ 4″ from the pin. As of the time I left I was in first place — of two entries — probably stayed there, though, I bet.
