Description

Nice big ole red motor!

Update 11/27/17: Another great high altitude launch. Put 6 degrees of angle on the rail and since there were some cross winds, from the north on the ground to about 5000 feet and then from the west above that, aimed it about 315 degrees. Landed about 1500' north west of pad!

Velocity data needs to be cleaned - gets fuzzy at mach!

Nope & Nope! You are on your own, I've gone higher, loaded with an N motor. My next altitude attempt will be fall of next year. Hope you are coming out west with Freddy and I.

Forget LaBelle! Put a bigger motor in your rocket and shoot for 18k!

What's your attraction to LaBelle anyhow?

Depends on when & where you are going. Probably won't do Black Rock anytime soon. Maybe Argonia. Really don't know for sure.

LaBelle has a lot of open space, unlike any other place with a high waiver. The GRITS field is freaking small (for that altitude). I'm sure I'll launch there again, but probably not this time - and certainly not over 12k. I don't even know if I can make it! Odds increase if I can't launch in LaBelle, but at the expense of my family.

Understood Jason, it's Thanksgiving weekend and I convinced the wife to go, so I'll go for sure..
