Description

First flight of my Wildman Jr. 2-stage - had a lot of help in prepping from the peanut gallery which is alway welcome! This was an I303 to an H123. Was supposed to drag separate on booster burnout with a backup charge from a PET2 timer and for some reason neither worked but it did separate when the sustainer fired. Sustainer ignition was initiated by an RRC3 which worked perfectly. Not sure what happened yet but still was a sucessful flight. Only other issue was the chute om the booster opened early, was usuing a chute release. Guess the chute slipped out before the set altitude?? Sustainer landed just north of barn about 500' from flight line. The booster landed on south end of field.

All photos once again complements of Freddy W :)
