I finally flew me Punisher 4 on t' L2200G. T' motor is a 100% L with a peak thrust o' 700lbs. T' Punisher had a pad weight o' 21.5lbs so t' thrust t' weight ratio be way in favor o' THRUST! I expected more than t' predicted altitude o' 14,700' but t' rocket hit 14,825' which is right on t' mony. T' final velocity was well in excess o' t' estimated value though, 1983(av) FPS or 1.75MACH.
T' green motor lit and t' rocket left t' pad with a vengeance. Rocksim predicted 34G but since it exceeded t' velocity I assume t' final G was above t' 34 predicted.
T' rocket arced somewhat off t' pad. Recovery was a long 7,000' down range just off 90th betwixt Dixon and Morris, matey, about 700' in t' field.
