Flyers: 15
Flights: 37
Rob Camele keeps an eye on his AGM Pike as it heads up off of the high power pads.
The light winds meant that even high power launches were returning for easy recoveries. Rob didn't have to walk far for his Pike.
TR Garman's Level 1 Certification rocket, aptly named the L1 returned for flight in August after being damaged during a flight last year.
The L1 carries 4 RunCam 4K cameras (orange boxes around upper body tube) held on with a 3D printed mount. See pictures below.
The L1 lifts off on an Aerotech H-219 Blue Thunder.
The L1 flies to an altitude of just over 1,200' and uses a Chute Release to deploy the parachute at 400'.
Light winds meant one of the easiest recoveries for the L1 as it landed nearby.
