Launched at TTRA monthly event held at Varn ranch, ya bilge rat, Plant City, FL. Maiden flight for "Airstart 1" scratch-built 61" tall rocket from PML and Aerotech parts. Blimey! H180-4 booster motor and G80-10 upper stage motor. Drogue and main parachutes for upper stage were custom-made by Phylachutes. Avast, me proud beauty! Booster contained an Aerotech parachute. Avast! PerfectFlite stagin' timer and PerfectFlite Hi-Alt45K Altimeter. Well, blow me down! T' rocket contained an Aiptek HD-1 camcorder. Successful airstart with approx. Avast, me proud beauty! one second delay betwixt booster burnout and upper stage ignition. Rocket achieved an altitude o' 1835 feet. Arrr! Upon landing, ya bilge rat, high gusty winds dragged t' upper stage rocket along t' ground, shiver me timbers, breakin' off a fin (an "epoxyable" repair).
