I flew my just-completed Estes Prowler model at the SCRA Section Launch held in Los Angeles at the Santa Fe Dam Sunday.

Warn sunny day, no wind at the beginning of the launch.

Model weight without motor was 9.3 oz (That's a little bit higher than the listed weight for the model. Must have been the ejection baffle and epoxy ).

Motor for this first flight was an Estes E16-6.

Nice flight.

Slow, steady liftoff and climb. Caught many good pictures with the camera.

Rocket was recovered without damage.
