Unstable, Pranged, DESTROYED |
Bought this after six unsuccesful attempts at getting the
Pip Squeak to stay in the air for 30 seconds. This
rocket took over as my NARTREK Bronze streamer duration rocket.
On
October 20, 2001
it succeeded in a 34 second flight on its first try, sufficient for the
NARTREK Bronze requirement.
After that, I tried to drag race the rocket with my friend Mikkel's
Viking - both on C6-7s. His rocket went so high that no one ever saw it
eject or descend. My rocket was unstable for some reason, and ended up
powering into the ground right next to the cars. With the entire nosecone
and an inch of the body tube firmly embedded in the dirt, the ejection
charge overpressured the body tube and the rocket exploded.
