What Goes Up...

A quick post for this time. Here is my Star Trek Starter Kit Rocket lifting off with an H242.


The up was fantastic! The down was horrible. The impact actually ejected the motor casing (and mount) out of the rocket...A fact that I noticed AFTER I walked back to the range head. Fortunately Chas Russell found it (and a missing  fin).

The sad thing is this was her second failed flight of the day. Poor igniter placement doomed her first flight as well, resulting in an under powered lob that took the paint off of the nose.

Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield.

She is now in the garage in pieces. I'm ordering new parts and wraps soon (thank goodness Stickershock has their replacement deal!). She WILL fly again!

Until next time, fly 'em fast and high!
