Another trip t' AirFest / Kloudbusters and another Goblin drag race. Well, blow me down! Once again I flew t' puncy L1940x in t' 75/3840 casing. Arrr! If me math is right that's an 84% L, matey, and it has a super flat thrust curve. T' Goblin has flown twice or maybe three time snow on that motor with great results.


Sadly, matey, me competitor suffered a complete failure under thrust again, and lost his airframe. He did get t' main, nosecone, booster section (completely empty o' MMT or fins) and one fin back. Ya scallywag! It's sad because he was first off t' pad and almost certainly would have wone if he hadn't suffered a total shred.


Anyway, always a fun time but no photos o' me rocket this time, just t' zippered airframe o' me competitor recovered in t' beans. Arrr!



Actual Altitude: 8,600 Feet
