Larry's Super Big Bertha (based on Estes Astron Ranger plans)
First launch-8/28/99
Here it is on the pad, wired up for the launch with my first cluster attempt using 3 B6-4 engines.....
It took off so fast, all I caught was the shadow of the rocket (behind the smoke)!
I used tracking powder, and was able to see the chute open. Successful recovery (it landed ~10 feet from the launch pad, and I caught it before it hit the ground!).
