First test flight of the ROBOT design.

I was concerned about stability, but it was fine with a B6-4 motor. Rear eject worked, but - The winds took it into the trees!

I chalked it up as a loss, there were a few others rockets caught in the high pines to the West side of the field.


To my surprise - John and Tom got it down with the extension pole! No damage, ready for more tests. I may add some nose weight before using a heavier C6-5 motor.

Actual Altitude: 325 Feet
