First flight of Drago - think sim is a bit optimistic. Ran it on RASaero and got a little lower in altitude - but it is still going high!
Actual altitude was 9387, a bit lower than expected but I had a video taped to the side which I remember knocks off a few hundred feet. On top of that, I think the video cameracrapped in the bed. Otherwise, awesome flight! Straight up & landed about 500' NW of pad. Lost the drogue at apogee. Been using new ball bearing swivel from an online rocket vendor who swore by these ball bearing swivels. Never again!
This was first time I used a Eggtimer Quantum altimeter. Worked great with wifi. No swithes, no ladder. All armed right from my phone. Still reviewing data. A little flakey at Mach but I still busted Mach!
