Weather was perfect, and attendance showed it. Tons of people came out and a lot of good friends from around the NE.
I got my first taste of EX when Dan Patell let me fly a couple of his motors. Very cool of him, and it’s really gotten me excited about the prospect of someday doing it myself. I had mothballed Emerald Dragon for the year, but when he offered up the motors, it was the only rocket that fit the bill.
First up was an I250 in a 29/360 case. when asked what the propellant is he simply replies “nothing special” So Nothing Special it is… Nice quick flight, beeped out 1043′
Next up was a Kosdon clone in a 38mm 5 grain case…. about a J450.
this one did a little better than 2400′ and 300 MPH
And then I put up QnD. two H250G’s #2 lit about 30 feet or so in the air. max alt 1881′ little over 250mph
And earlier in the day I sent the Optima up on her 16th flight, a G53FJ.
All in all a great day, and cool people. Some horrific CATOS that sucked, but some cool flights too.
