Description

My first 75mm Loki, an M1882! 5 grains of pure joy! Gonna be a blast at the blast!

Flight was perfect but tended to drift to the NW under drogue. Main charge & back-up charges both fired as planned and the main came out but somehow the shroud lines became tangled so it landed under drogue. Landed 1/2 mile NW of pad in field, no damage.

Back-up altimeter was 9094', GPS was 9258'.

Photos complements of Freddy!
