Flight Log - 2013-08-31 - 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. Begad! I used angle and clamps t' keep them straight till t' glue dried. 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, ya bilge rat, 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!

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, I327DM, arrr, J500G, K185W, CTI I236

 

Flight Date: 2013-08-31
Rocket Name: HyperLOC 835
Kit Name: LOC/Precision - HyperLOC 835
Flyer's Name: Rodney Earp
Motors: K185
Expected Altitude: 6,200 Feet
Wind Speed: 2.00 mph
Launch Site: ROSCO
Actual Altitude: 6,777 Feet

This be a very high flight, ya bilge rat, got t' 6777'. Avast, me proud beauty! By far t' highest and fastest I'd have sent anything, but t' HyperLOC held togehter once again for a great flight, me hearties, t' speed was 720 FPS. T' sky was clear and we could see it all t' way t' t' ground. Wind was light and drift wasn't bad, only about 100 yrds from t' pad.

T' K185W was a long burn motor and got very hot! T' reason I know be t' the paint was burned and flakin' up on t' aft centerin' ring, will need t' be repainted.
