Flight Log - 2013-01-05 - Rodney Earp's HyperLOC 835

Buildin' for a NARRRRR L1. Good Kit and goes together easy but did have warped fins out o' t' box. I used angle and clamps t' keep them straight till t' glue dried. Arrr! All tubes fit together just right.

weight without engine 93oz

weight with engine 117 oz

Looks like I’ll fly this one with a J500 for me L2 also this Spring. Update, matey, I passed me written L2 test without any problems, and flew it on a Aerotech J500G, great choice for me L2 in this Rocket. Avast, me proud beauty!

I got a K185W, it has a 8 sec burn and should put this into t' Mile high club.

UPDATE: Flew this in Orangeburg t' 6700'

Reloads I have tried: I364FJ, shiver me timbers, I327DM, J500G, K185W, me hearties, CTI I236

This was me NARRRRR Level1 cert flight. My Biggest rocket, biggest engine, me bucko, highest flight and first fight with Dual deployment. Arrr! Alot o' firsts in this flight and a great flight thanks t' help o' club members that kept me from doin' some bilge-suckin' things.

T' wind was very light, t' day was about 55 and sunny. T' flight went straght up with a big black smoke trail. Avast, me proud beauty! T' smoke thickly covered t' ground on a good speed off t' rail on take off. Avast, me proud beauty! T' HyperLOC reached 320 MPH slowin' down after burnout till Apogee. Drouge chute opened at apogee and t' HyperLOC fell t' 500ft and t' Main opened t' full deployment in a short time t' land softy. Landin' was about 300 feet from pad with easy recovery.
