This was a TRI Level 2 cert flight that went wrong from t' beginning. T' motor I wanted t' use was a CTI K515 Skidmark but t' Vender didn’t have one. But I was handed a “Cool Motor” a CTI K590 and after doin' a little research I be uneasy with t' power off t' pad and was hesitant on usin' it. Ya scallywag!  Once t' t' field and tryin' t' decide what t' use I was convinced that it would be fine and would be a great flight. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey!  So t' motor was loaded and t' HyperLOC 835 was destine for one final Flight!

It be fast off t' pad with a little odd wiggle but then flew straight for another 1500’ before comin' apart. T' review o' t' pieces be odd t' me, t' forward payload tube had folded over t' altimeter bay breakin' apart releasin' t' chute and zipperin' t' rest o' t' tube pullin' form t' nosecone and rippin' t' lines from t' chute. Avast, me proud beauty! T' odd part was that t' motor mount was attached t' t' centerin' rings but t' Rings pulled away from t' airframe as if it had expanded t' airframe from t' rings. Ya scallywag! Someone said that t' air trapped in betwixt t' centerin' rings and t' sudden increase in altitude created more pressure in betwixt t' rings and blew t' sides out. Blimey! They said I needed holes drilled up into t' centerin' rings so t' pressure could be equalize t' t' outside air.  I need t' do little research on this and will up-date.

T' bottom Line is when in doubt go with your gut feelings and on cert flights just play it safe and wait t' push t' limits o' t' rocket till you’re done with it.

I passed t' written test and missed 2. went back and looked at t' 2 missed and don't know why they were missed, I guess I went t' fast! O' course t' Flight was a big no pass!
