Loaded with an AT F12-5 (more like 8 ). Inside the payload was an Eggtimer Apogee that was riding along
for testing since it was just built. It was connected to one of the chinese e-matches that everyone says don't use (I have yet to have one fail).
However there was no charge in it. Just some wadding wrapped around it for testing. Looking back I wonder why? Why not use a charge?
Well the delay went long and the height was not what I predicted - only 450' (137m) according to the Apogee. There was an event - late . And it did make a nice zipper! About 4 inches. The ET Apogee did set off the e-match. So odds are IT would have saved the day, had there been any BP! Oh well, cut off the tube and fly it as a shorter rocket!
