Congrats - one new person to serve as a Mentor for Spaceport!
Hello Keith,
Wow, congratulations! I just read through the thread, very cool! Thanks for sharing that, its an inspiration for sure.Yay, success today with the L3 Launch at Tripoli Tampa. Great weather although a bit gusty at times, as you could spot with the immediate weathercocking into the wind off the launch rail! Unfortunately, about the only real cloud we saw all day just happened to be along the flight path at the end of my countdown. 45.1 lbs. on the pad, with an AT M2050X reached 6,686 feet versus the RocSim 7,150 feet. Max velocity @ 828 fps, drogue descent averaged 74 fps, while the very short (deployed at 800 feet) main descent averaged 35 fps. All electronics performed nominal, all ejection charges fired, and rocket was fully functional after recovery in the open field. The best video was my TAP signing the paperwork for the successful L3 Flight / Certification!!!!
