Description

Little shy of 10k but no matter. Went pretty straight with minimal weathercocking toward apogee. Landed 1300 feet SE of pad. Not sure what happened during boost but I was using RTx GPS system. It always had a fix (LAT/LON) and 10-11 sats in view but never saw altitude. Also barely missed landing on the 500 kV power lines - WOW!

MARSA accel altitude was 10329'. Spoke with MARSA mfg. & he stated that the baro is probably accurate since the rocket turned into wind near apogee and acelerometer just measures 1 direction. Also from video it appears that the backup charge fired a bit early (slightly before apogee).

On board video too - this rocket is a spinner - disappointed. Two videos posted, one unedited & the other cleaned up & shortened.

There must be a bug in Insane Rocketry as my flight data will not plot/truncated.
