Farside

Flight

One of my son's favorites. Nice straight launch and recovery despite last flights complications and repairs. - C6-5 - Open Field [More]

   

Pinkie Quark

Flight

Cool little rocket. Speeds up at apogee and whistles on desent. Became a 5" long lawn dart and buried itself in the soft dirt and suffered no damage. - 1/2A3-4T - Open Field [More]

   

Comanche 3

Flight

Impressive launch. The nose cone and streamers failed to deploy at apogee which turned this rocket into a 41" lawn dart which we lost sight of. Found minutes later sticking straight out of the ground about 25 yards away from us. Zero damage found! - C6-5 - Open Field [More]

   

RTillary

Flight

Cool to watch this thing lift off. Nice deployment at apogee and not a bad recovery despite tangled parachute lines. The engine seems a bit under powered for this rocket. - D12-5 - Open Field [More]

Sky Dart

Flight

Nice take off. Rocket suffered a catastrophic event at apogee. The only recovered parts were the nose cone, streamer and part of the rubber shock cord. - A10-3T - Open Field [More]

   

Sky Dart

Flight

Nice first launch - A10-3T - Open Field [More]

   

Farside

Flight

Nice, loud launch. This thing zings off the rod with the C6-5 motor. Nice high flight, parachute deployment and recovery despite previous crash - C6-5 - Open Field [More]

   

Farside

Flight

Failed to install wadding. Suffered seperated fin and slightly burned parachute. Duct taped fins back on and made the parachute usable for further use. - C6-5 - Open Field [More]
