Doorknob-2

Flight

The B booster was underpowered. It staged about 15' in the air and sent the sustainer cruise missile over the flight line, landing in soft dirt. No damage to either half. - B6-0 B6-6 - Bunnell Blast 2011 [More]

3x Javelin

Flight

Stripped the mylar 'chute at ejection. Flew horizontally into the dirt. No damage. Needs a real parachute for next time. - E20-7 - Bunnell Blast 2011 [More]

Aziz

Flight

Forgot to trim the delay before assembling the motor. It had plenty of 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 the rocket fly into the parachute AGAIN. Another Estes dent in the nose cone, compression fractures all along the spirals, and a seriouly loosened fin. Needs time on the work bench. - E18-4 - Bunnell Blast 2011 [More]

Estes Pro Series Patriot

Flight

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

3x Javelin

Flight

Nice up. Due to the weight of the reload, the body tube bent upon landing just above the fin can. Can probably be spiced and repaired. - E23-8 - Clegg Sod Farm [More]

4" Photon Probe

Flight

Bonus delay. Blew the nose at about 300 feet but did not eject the chute. Destroyed. - I195 - Clegg Sod Farm [More]

Hulkster

Flight

Finally had a straight flight after many mis-starts. Landed under a full 'chute with a giant dent in the front of the body tube and a cracked fin. I don't get it. - D12-5 - Clegg Sod Farm [More]

Aziz

Flight

Kicked in the butt right off the pad. Outstanding flight. - H238 - Clegg Sod Farm [More]

Miss Mannelin

Flight

Struggled into the air. Landed safely but with a giant dent at the front of the body tube. - E9-4 - Clegg Sod Farm [More]
