Just about eight times the impulse of its one previous flight! But there was a reason. I didn’t want to fly my Yankee, but I did want to get an idea of how well the streamer I made for the NARTREK flight would work. Very roughly, I figured, the Razor on a C6 might go to about the same altitude as the Yankee on a B. (I haven’t verified that with anything but intuition, yet.) And it should come down faster. And if it got lost or soaked, well, it was free. So I put the NARTREK streamer on the Razor and launched it. Launch was fine. It hit the ground 46 seconds later and was found in good shape.
