THIRD FLIGHT
2015-03-13 20:00:00ZStratologger
Red Heat X3 March 2015 Data.pf2 Description
Windy conditions, got a bit better in the afternoon around 12:30 PM, Want to launch bad, so I took my chanses. Rail was in 2 degree angle, Winds were stronger then forecasted, but skies were pretty clear like 60 %. Launched and went streight up, very nice flight recorded by Eric and Jason. Was aiming for 8800 feet but went only 7252 feet. I blame it on early deployment. Motor delay was 18 sec and Open Rocket calculated 20 seconds. Still safe but might make that difference !!! Long recovery walk with Eric and Jason. Lost Tracker !! And Binoculars !! Rocket landed however in sight.
Tracker was found later next day in field !
Also binoculars were found bu Thea a week or so later. There was some cow poop on the binoculars....
Note: Charges Main 1.8 grams - Drogue 1.8 grams - Chutes: Main 48" - drogue 24"
