LAUNCHES

B6-4 Engine - Maiden flight
10-15 MPH winds
West Haven Park
Missed launch pic :-(
Rod angled into the wind, the rocket hit ~ 300-400 feet high.
Not much time for the parachute to carry the rocket back to the pad!
Good, safe recovery. Needs a C6-5 next time!

C6-5 Engine
5 MPH winds
West Haven Park
Used "Emergency" "Whippy" rod from Home Depot.
