Mission “Get Level 2 Certified take two”

Saturday afternoon, Weather was warm 70 ish deg F and Sunny with light wind, then it got a little cloudy with a few drops of rain.

Luke got it rocket out of grandpa’s car.

Off it goes

Go get Luke’s rocket before the dog does!

“grandma, this rocket stinks.. I don’t like it”

Sammie found it ..

Did you see that Wocket?

Getting that Pro54 K660 motor ready..

In goes the motor 🙂

Look Dad, I have one too 🙂

They kissed the rocket for good luck.

I am ready.. are you rocket?

out to the pad we go.

Getting it on the pad

Off it goes 🙂 Good by to 6058ft

up it goes

Look what we found, it’s a rocket with a broken fin, and the main chute deployed at apogee .. level 2 failed flight.  🙁

I think I can see it… maybe?

It’s a good think we have a wildman darkstar rocket and a Pro38 J400 to retry that cert flight.

Darkstar loaded

off it goes to 6300ft…   too bad the main chute deployed at apogee again… an other level 2 cert fail.

and it landed in a tree.. and it’s still there.

We did get to see 5 “M” motors go up.. here is a pic of a 1/2 scale patriot missile.. and Jay

Up it goes.

it looks like a rocket 🙂 and sounds like it too .

We had a great time.
