Qwest Wadding, LEGO Policeman, Incomplete ejection. Weight of nose cone/payload section pulled parachute out for deployment
There was still wadding in the body of the tube after recovery
Qwest wadding is stiffer then the Estes "tissue paper" type. Will have to cut up in the future or consider using "dog barf" type cellulose insulation
Plus side is that no parachutes have been melted while using Qwest wadding
Great RTF performer for the boys - as it can carry LEGO miwearily in its payload section
Only veteran rocket launched today. Love it's heavy stable flight characteristics and tracked true off pad on an Estes C6-5
Restored boys faith after Sky Twister bit it earlier in the afternoon
Note: correction in spelling SKYTRAX not two "X" at end
