Description

Will launch the Red heat this time, no special choice. It's time for this one again. Motor will be a J295 CL.

Update 06/15/2021 - Charges are already made and some extra's, busy days at work, still need to prep the whole rocket. Streamer will be present.

Update 06/17/2021 - Gat the charges loaded on the AvBay. Main chute and dog barf in upper bay, 3 shear pins. Booster has charge inside, dog barf, and 85 feet streamer, had to figure out how to get that streamer all the way down there, streamer has no chute protector but has lots of dog barf for protection. Space enough for RTX. Made two Z-ties for main chock cord and two for streamer chock cord. Charging batteries already. Weather looks fine, but minor rain in the forecast.

Update 06/18/2021 - Weather is still looking good, actually there is a storm coming to Louisiana and that might affect Florida weather also, Will check weather tomorrow morning again. All batteries and camera's are charging now.. Checking stratologgers, and AvBay.

Update 06/19/2021 - LAUNCH DAY - Weather was so so OK, Clouds high and mid clouds....and low winds. Helped Jeff for a while setting up his rocket and also recovery in the dense bush... My prep was not an issue, had to leave the camera out in the booster, did not fit properly with the streamer, will use chute next time. Launched from the E1 pad no angle, great boost disappeared in de clouds for a short time. Than came out with the streamer deployed. Landed close to the west powerlines on the road way, and.. the was a puddle in the road, just the only one and the AvBay landed smack right there with the electronics submerged ! Seems that all is working, iPhonegave lots of data and video and bogus video. Had to select the launch video within the Bogus video's. Still looking for the data, must be somewhere there. Rocket was a bit wet and so was a bit wet and so was the streamer. Trying to dry out those parts nd it seems that all still fits well. Still hoping that the stratologgers will work properly and the RTX. Will be tested out a few days later. Florence took a lot of pictures as usual.. Love it. The streamer was nicely draped out over the landing spot and some was in the muddy sandy water. Will all clean it out for the next launch. RTX worked well. Also I must have disconnected the backup drogue charge, the wires was loose and I remember when pushing in the AvBay in the booster that I felt a light snap, must be that wire that I disconnected ! At the end of the onboard video you can hear the voice of the iPhone going underwater, very funny noise..

Update 06/20/2021 - Got data from Stratologger II Back Up, Stratologger I Main does not seems to respond, just a loooooooong beep, Will brush it up a bit and see what happens, maybe send back to Pefectflite. Cleaned the other Stratologger a bit more especially around the data pins and I could finally download the data from it. Both are cleaned up and working great, will do a test before I use those again.
