Applewhite 13mm Six

Flight

This was the first flight for this rocket. It tailwagged all the way up, which makes me think it has too much noseweight. The nose cone didn't eject, and it lawn darted. Damage was minimal, and it will fly again. - A10-3 - Back Yard [More]

Lo Flier

Flight

Drifted a lot farther than I would have expected, and landed in the neighbor's yard... just missing half a dozen trees. Whew. - A10-3 - Back Yard [More]

Semroc Mark

Flight

Flight was much higher than expected. Lost sight of rocket against a cloudy sky, but it was sighted after the streamer deployed. Landed just within the launch field. - A10-3 - Back Yard [More]
