LAUNCHES


 
Aug 7, 2004
A8-3 Engine - Maiden flight
Calm winds
Baseball diamond next door
 
     

 
Low flight - went maybe 450 feet high? The 12" chute deployed about 2 seconds after apogee. I was hoping the chute would open before the rocket hit the ground!
 

 
Second launch on a B6-4 engine. Much better height - maybe 700+ feet high?
