Flight Log - 2013-08-31 - Rodney Earp's HyperLOC 835

Building for a NAR L1. Good Kit and goes together easy but did have warped fins out of the box. I used angle and clamps to keep them straight till the glue dried. All tubes fit together just right.

weight without engine 93oz

weight with engine 117 oz

Looks like I’ll fly this one with a J500 for my L2 also this Spring. Update, I passed my written L2 test without any problems, and flew it on a Aerotech J500G, great choice for my L2 in this Rocket.

I got a K185W, it has a 8 sec burn and should put this into the Mile high club.

UPDATE: Flew this in Orangeburg to 6700'

Reloads I have tried: I364FJ, I327DM, J500G, K185W, CTI I236

 

Flight Date: 2013-08-31
Rocket Name: HyperLOC 835
Kit Name: LOC/Precision - HyperLOC 835
Flyer's Name: Rodney Earp
Motors: K185
Expected Altitude: 6,200.00 Feet
Wind Speed: 2.00 mph
Launch Site: ROSCO
Actual Altitude: 6,777.00 Feet

This was a very high flight, got to 6777'. By far the highest and fastest I'd have sent anything, but the HyperLOC held togehter once again for a great flight, the speed was 720 FPS. The sky was clear and we could see it all the way to the ground. Wind was light and drift wasn't bad, only about 100 yrds from the pad.

The K185W was a long burn motor and got very hot! The reason I know is the the paint was burned and flaking up on the aft centering ring, will need to be repainted.
