FIRST FLIGHT
2015-04-10 20:00:00ZStratologger
LIGHTNING April 11 2015.pf2 Description
Very nice conditions, practical no winds, great powerfull launch with a K750 Red Lightning motor. Nice flame straight upward, almost reached mach 1 !! Became unstable when reaching mach 1, Need nose cone weight a bit like 1/2 pound according jason to make it more stable. Did see drogue come out then Iost it, Could find it with a TAGG, almost 1/2 mile away. Everything deployed BUT, the zip tie did not deploy so the upper bay hit the fin and damaged t. Can be fixed. But next time use rubberbands !!!! Parchute was a 36" 4 cords.. Looking for a 45" from Micheal West that fit the bay. Stratologger got hit and Battery came out of its holder, but deployment happened !! Use zip tie next time for powerfull flight !!! Trouble downloading the real data for now will update later !.
Note:Charges Main 1.6 - Drogue 1.8 - Chutes: Main 36" (to small) - drogue 24"
