Launch day 6 29 24

Launch day 6-29-24
We again visited Sixty Acres park on Saturday, 6/29 to have some father/son bonding time and to launch our fleet. We debuted our new launch controller, a modified version of the complex launch controller designed by ‪@themodelrocket220‬. We had no issues with the controller, but a few issues with starters melting the engine plugs instead of starting the engines.
We also debuted two Estes Astrocam cameras and an Estes altimeter. Unfortunately, one of the cameras was lost with its rocket.
Still, lots of fun was had.

Excellent video guys, your launch site is so awesome!

Thanks! Yeah, we've been really happy with Sixty Acres Park. Both times that we've gone, there have been other folks launching.

Add talcum powder to the chutes B4 folding them to prevent them sticking. You may want to angle your lauch rod more towards you to have the rockets land closer to you.

[@dragonwingrockets]

Thanks, I'll try those ideas.

Didn't you know it's against the law to show a shiny day on the PNW? Say hi to Ken or Bernard if you see them there.

LOL. This is the first time in a while that we've had a sunny day (mostly) to be able to see the smoke trails.
