Paul's Rocketeer flight 08/11/01
Tripoli-MN: North Branch
My Son and I launched my Aerotech Strong ARM Christmas present at the
08/11/01 Tripoli launch near North Branch, Minnesota.
The Strong ARM is considered a mid power rocket and will
accept either F or G Series motors.
We were
rewarded with a flawless flight on an F20 Econo-Jet (after the first copperhead
igniter popped).
Even had nice sound effects
and great smoke. The rocket climbed to 1200 feet AGL (est.) and had a normal
parachute deployment.
The rocket was recovered in perfect shape, a big
relief for both of us.
