Flight Log - 2011-04-17 - Alex Zoghlin's Mach Buster

Launched it on one o' CTI's new reloadable 24mm F240 Vmax motor.

All i can say is WOW!

rocksim indicated it would go 0 t' 1800 MPH in about .3 seconds (which be t' burn time o' t' engine), arrr, and reach about 4000 ft.

I couldn't fit a tracker on it, but decided t' write me phone number on it just in case.....

When t' motor lit, it sounded like an explosion. Aye aye! Blimey! I had a 30fps video camera going, shiver me timbers, and only got 1 frame o' t' rocket leavin' t' pad, which means it was probably goin' faster than 1800 MPH by me calculations.

I can't say much more. Nobody ever saw it, me hearties, or heard from it once it left t' pad.
