Cool glad to hear we had some representation out there, bummer about Chris’ shred was really thinking that might of gone nice but I was a little worried how he described his fins attachment, It’ll be interesting to hear his report of what he thinks went wrong. We flew a 3 stage there that looked great off the pad and then about 5,000 feet looked like a demon attacked it – snapped a 4″ carbon tube in half. I was reading the aussies build thread, (they seem like for the most part pretty on top of their game) and they were talking about the dynamic changes of cp relative to the cg with the mach transition and having 3-4 calipers of stability in their rockets. I know ours was nowhere near that stable and wonder if maybe thats what bit us? Too bad about the weather!
We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
