Unfortunately the key chain camera didn't record the flight, so all I have is this quick clip from the launch pad:
Recovery in the tall grass was a little challenging. Even with an 6' parachute it was tough to spot.
Next up was the LOC Bruiser, also known as the "graduation rocket" because I built this for my high school graduation party. It hadn't flown since the crash in 2011 at Plaster City. I decided a few weeks ago to repair the fins and the zipper. Today it flew on an Aerotech J340 Metal Storm:
The motor has a 14 second delay and I drilled it down to 6 seconds, but it appears it went earlier than that. Even with the early ejection charge there was no damage and it landed less than 50 yards from the pad.
My oldest son went out with me to recover it. The grass was up to his chin!
