First (test) flight of my Level 3 certification project, "Buster," at
Airfest 22, near Argonia, Kansas, on September 2, 2016. Maximum
altitude was just over 6000 feet above ground level (the field is 1250
feet above sea level).
Buster was built from a modified Rocketry Warehouse Terminator 5 kit.
The motor for this flight was a Cesaroni Pro75 L1355 Smoky Sam.
Recovery is via a two foot Spherachutes drogue, a four foot Fruity
Chutes pilot parachute and a seven foot Fruity Chutes main parachute,
controlled by a Missileworks RRC3 primary altimeter and a Missileworks
RRC2+ backup altimeter. The rocket was tracked with an Altus Metrum
TeleGPS tracker.
