Foam Flights
This was our first launch for the year. The weather was
perfect for launching with blue skies and calm conditions. As we
are currently busy preparing rockets for
Thunda Down Under we
just flew a number of our regular rockets. The first two flights
were of the Axion II rocket with foam. Both flights landed well.
The third flight was the Axion rocket with 1800mL of water and
foam. Again the flight went well with a good landing.
We also did a couple of synchronization tests on the cluster
launcher at 70psi in preparation for the full scale Polaron G2 launch. The
settings looked correct with the main stage being released last
in both tests.
There is no highlights video this week
because there really wasn't anything
new. We are putting together a number of
videos though of the projects we are
taking to Thunda and these will be
posted in the next month or two.
Thunda Down Under
