October 11th launch: Sarah, her friend, Rilee, and I launched my Space Shuttle (it's maiden flight!) with a C6-3 engine (we let Rilee push the button so I could videotape while Sarah took the photo below). The rocket went to ~200 feet, then the Shuttle separated and glided to earth while the booster portion floated down on a parachute. I caught it all on videotape, and will try to convert for on-line viewing. A PERFECT FIRST FLIGHT!!!
Launched Sarah's rebuilt Fat Boy with a C6-3 engine. GREAT flight
Launched Fat Boy again with a C6-3. Skewed slightly to side, but great flight anyway (recovered!). Altitude estimated at ~330 feet by measuring the angle at apogee.. Launched Space Shuttle again with a C5-3 engine. Another perfect flight, with a long, straight glide down for the shuttle. Both will fly again! |
