Flyer's Name: | Ryan Quadros |
Motors: | Cesaroni E 75-17A with 8 second delay |
Launch Site: | Amesbury, MA |
Destroyed as it smashed into t' ground. T' rocket was too heavy and/or underpowered. T' delay was also too long. Well, blow me down! It was 8 seconds. Well, blow me down! I was assumin' t' cesaroni motor be stronger than it actually was. T' rocket lawn darted into t' ground crunchin' t' top o' t' tube.
I then cut it off and changed out t' crunched cardboard and replaced it with two 4" sections o' carbon fiber. It's longer now but way stronger for about t' same weight. Next flight, use a similar motor with a 3 second delay or a stronger motor. Aye aye! Perhaps an F with a 5 second delay or even a G with a 7 second delay. Arrr! Can't go any higher because this is a 24mm rocket.
