It was rocket day in Minnesota... Unfortunately we had a few flyers with failed parachute deployment, the rockets came in ballistic... Which is less than ideal.
The tip of this rocket was about 3 ft deep in the soil.

Hey Minnesota!
The April high power rocket launch has been moved to Sunday, April 19, due to high winds on Saturday.
Join us in North Branch to have fun with some large and some fast rockets. Or join us to launch your smaller Estes rockets.

It was a rocket day in Minnesota... I have been mentoring the 12 year old son of a friend for almost 8 years, today he flew his rocket on an H motor to 2400 ft, at over 450 mph. This earned him the cerification level 1 and he is now allowed to fly high power rockets.

Who's flying at LDRS? I'll be there, since it's our local field. #LDRS #rocketry #highpowerrocketry #modelrockets

Not every flight goes to plan, and today that's how it went. 7.5 out of 9 were successful. The half a point was for a cluster rocket that didn't fully light off the rail (3 out of 4), but was still recovered.
Three pics. The smashed one is the newest version of a BT60 Goblin. Again the chute release pin didn't let go despite several successful tests with the small chute bundle. It made it to 2878' on an Aerotech F67C motor.
The black sleek one is an upscale Estes Ninja, 2.5" diameter. Flew on an Aerotech F40W. Perfect flight to 1500'.
The skyracha rocket, a 4" upscale Big Daddy, flew great on a H130W to 1354'

Awww... #EngineeringFail on my part. My overkill battery will in fact kill my altimeter.
"The largest lithium polymer battery that should be used with the Raven is 1S, 300 mAhrs, because larger lipo batteries can produce currents well in excess of the 22 Amp rating of the deployment channels in the event of an output short circuit, which can permanently damage the altimeter."
Better to find out now, but that's back to the drawing board on my sled. #rocketry #HighPowerRocketry #RocketSurgery

Did some #rocketry today with the club. Went 5 for 5 on flights. No long walks. No broken anything. Great day of flying.
Upscale #estesrockets Nike-X on an Aerotech G76 Mojave Green to ~1300'
Sorcerer's Apprentice on an Estes D12-5 to 750'
Der Big Red Max on an Aerotech F20-4 White Lightning to 750'
Skyracha - a 4" diameter upscale Big Daddy on an Aerotech H128 White Lightning to 1000'Not pictured; Normal Big Daddy on an Aerotech F39 Blue Thunder to about 800'. Too quick off the rail to get a good shot.
