Jay's in the air... again
Success! I test-flew my Sirius Interrogator tonight, although the A8-3 first flight was a little nerve-wracking. The two B6-4 flights were much more satisfying. I saved some B and C motors so my wife and girls could see it fly next week.
I forgot to wrap masking tape around the motor on the Tau Zero's maiden flight, so the body tube core-sampled about 3/4" of slightly moist sand (in the alfalfa field) after spitting the motor. The Prometheus, on the other hand, spanked the sky rather soundly on just an A8-3. (Craig, I think you'll like its performance!) The best part is I got to fly on the site where my mom and dad's old farm was before they sold it 17 years ago... and where I flew the majority of my rockets growing up. Gotta go finish writing some "Interrogator" reviews! Cheers, --Jay "Centuri Guy" "*Spank* the sky!" (tm) |

Hope the Tau Zero wasn't too badly damaged... I'm looking at the parts for the Prometheus (they arrived this morning) and it actually seems bigger than the RockSim images make it appear. That A8-3 should have reached about 250'. I'm really looking forward to flying mine now.
