March Launch

[Jack MatthewsModerator]

A photographer friend of mine tagged along yesterday (some of you met Ray),, and since Mike wasn’t there, here’s a few pictures he took. He told me I could share the link..

My 4th E in the Alphabet did a really great CATO. It just got off the pad when it blew out both ends, removed the motor mount, fractured the fin mounts and started a little grass fire from grass growing out of cracks in the asphalt.
The chute came out, the rocket landed, but it is a hollow tube now. Bummer. I guess I can pay my $5 and continue on with the “E’s”, or is this procedure incorrect.

Bear, for D-E-F redos it is $10. You can pick up again with the 4th E.

What motor Cato’d? I pressed the launch button for a few E-28s yesterday that had a very hard start with a few AP fragments leaving the nozzle.

Thank you for these pictures. I was too nervous and busy to worry about pictures of my L2 cert flight (the purple orange and yellow rocket). I hope I can steal these for my own use. JackMatt – Does your friend sell the full-res versions? I’d like to get those if possible. He can contact me at david[at]thepinters.com Thanks again for the link.

Chad,
It was an Estes E9-6. Guess I will be going back to the AT ones that I have.
Guess I will be doing a $10 do-over in April. If you are not there, I will try to give the money to Joe unless you want me to mail it.

Dave – I’m sure you can work a deal with Ray. I sent him your contact information,,, he travels a bit, so if you don’t hear from him in a few days, PM me and I’ll give him a call on his cell and see if he’s interested.

That green rocket was my Tethys (aka Toothless). I lost it. I sent it up without a tracker. Think it hit 7,000 feet.

Maybe someone will find it.
