Estes Sky Lofter

Flight

Last flight was another perfect one. Old Faithful just keeps on going. Need to do some minor glue work when we get home. - C6-5 - DART, San Diego [More]

Estes Sky Lofter

Flight

Second flight of the day. Rubbed baby powder on motor before insertion, made extraction after recovery very easy. New trick! - C6-5 - DART, San Diego [More]

Estes Sky Lofter

Flight

Great flight from Old Faithful. Motor got really jammed in mount, really had to gorilla it out, doing some damage in the process. - C6-5 - DART, San Diego [More]

Estes CC Express

Flight

Camera attached, great launch, straight and true. Too windy for slow descent, landed in bay. Rocket okay, camera ruined. - D12-5 - DART, San Diego [More]

Estes CC Express

Flight

Fin repaired, used a new 15" chute and nomex wadding. Great flight, but slow descent. - D12-5 - DART, San Diego [More]

Estes CC Express

Flight

Loaded the wrong motor. The chute deployed while the rocket was still at full speed, resulting in two shrouds ripping from the plastic parachute. The rocket returned too quickly as a result, breaking one fin on impact, and cracking another. Repairs made in the field. - D12-0 - DART, San Diego [More]
