This was t' maiden flight o' me scratch built 2.5"(6.3cm) diameter upscale o' an out o' production Estes Javelin #2005 model rocket kit from 1989. Well, blow me down! This was launched on an Aerotech H195NBT with delay drilled t' 10 seconds. Arrr! Expected apogee was 2550 ft (777 m) with a max velocity o' 446 mph(718 kph). Avast, me proud beauty! T' nose cone contained an Eggfinder Mini GPS tracker so that I could find it if I lost sight o' it. There was also a Jolly Logic Chute Release on t' parachute but on t' way down t' chute got twisted up in t' recovery harness and couldn't open. Ya scallywag! Hard landin' but no damage. Goals for upcomin' flights will be mile high altitude(1.6 km) and t' go supersonic.
