Rocket Launch Notes
What Rattler 7 Missile When August 14, 2000 Where GH Park Weather Clear, sunny skies, Brisk NW wind, temp 80, 6:00 PM Engine C6-5 Status Great Flight and Recovery Other Long Recovery Photo None Notes We flew these rockets with three children. A good time was had by all.
This was the second flight of the Rattler 7 Missile. This is a cool looking rocket that has a desert camouflage theme. This was the first flight of the evening.
Brandon pressed the launch button after the all clear signal and countdown. The rocket took off and pointed into the wind at a slight angle that ultimately went overhead and made us turn around to watch it. Those assembled to watch it were very impressed. It flew nearly out of site. The parachute deployed correctly and the brisk wind carried it a quite a long ways off. Poor Brandon had quite a long run to recover it.
Make a note to use a less powerful motor when flying in windy conditions.
