Flight Log - 2014-06-22 - Skyviper Aerospace's Predator Jr.

This is my first Blue Tube rocket. It's duel-deploy with an SL100 and has a GPS tracking system the BRB900 installed.

Flight Date: 2014-06-22
Rocket Name: Predator Jr.
Kit Name: Always Ready Rocketry - Predator Jr {Kit}
Flyer's Name: Skyviper Aerospace
Motors: J570
Launch Site: Hartsel, CO
Actual Altitude: 9,200.00 Feet

This was the last flight for this rocket. It had a great boost to over 9,200', but during the recovery at around 4,400', the tracking system stopped working and the last know location was above a river and mosquito infested swamp. My son and I ventured into the area, but didn't see the rocket and it was probably under water. The clouds of mosquitoes made it horrible and we decided than no rocket was worth that misery.
