2 Stage |
Stage 1
- A10-PT Stage 2 - B6-0 |
Good straight flight
in light winds, good recovery |

3 Stage cluster |
Stage 1
- A10-PT Stage 2 - B6-0 Stage 3 - D12-0, 2 x D11-P |
This is the full
power configuration. Good initial Stage 3 boost on 3 "D"
motors. Stage 2 ignition was good but Stage 1 separated from Stage 2 in
the middle of its boost. Stage 2 continued to fly straight without Stage
1. All stages returned safely because of the ultra-reliable aerobrake
recovery method used for all 3 stages. |
