NAR Level 2 certification rocket: Long Tom with a K500 Red Lightning
Long Tom flew again at HARA's first launch on the Butler Mill field 10/13. The K500 sent it to ~3900' which is understandably poorer performance than it had in Colorado a mile above sea level.
The Level 2 certification flight went off without a hitch and recovered in sight of the flight line. I'll be mailing in my packet as soon as the post office is open.
Long Tom is a sport scale Tomahawk CM based on a LOC Precision 5.5" airframe with full length couplers, a fiberglass elliptical nosecone, a tailcone made from the stock nose, and a slimline retainer. Electronics include a Missileworks RRC3, Perfectflite Stratologger CF, and the MIssileworks T3 GPS unit (which was pretty useless since I left my receiver at home....)'
Readings;
RRC3: 3912' @ 510 ft/s
SLCF: 3932' @ 520 ft/s
