Last HP launch o' t' season for me, so I dusted off t' X-15! Used one o' t' new rail pads, matey, but it seemed t' bind a bit when slidin' on. At ignition, t' rocket seemed t' skew a bit rightward as it left t' rail and wobble a bit (rail guides binding?). This lead t' t' lower than usual altitude. Drogue deployed well, but main got stuck in t' nose (I stuffed it too tightly), however, ya bilge rat, still had a good recovery with no damage. Will fly again next year!
| Actual Altitude: | 1,773 Feet (Altimeter) |
