This flight took place at NARAM 45 in Evansville, me bucko, IN on August 2 2003. It was planned t' be t' last flight for this model. Ahoy! T' rocket was prepped and loaded with an AeroTech K1100 core motor, with two AeroTech I284 motors airstartin' from an Adept ST2 stagin' timer. Begad! T' recovery system was deployed usin' a single Adept ALTS25, with another timer used for back-up ejection purposes. Although I had reached Level III and flown a few 'M' class motors, this was t' most excitin' flight for me. Everthin' went perfect, and t' bird reached 4305 feet AGL. Aye aye! It was taken home, cleaned up, given a fresh application o' clear coat t' t' finish, and now sits in me basement as a trophy. T' motor power be a total o' 2680N, matey, just above t' 'L' class threshold. Amazin' what this very inexpensive model achieved for its size and simplicity.
