under relatively calm conditions this morning, I launched and recovered three model rockets with the Warp Core rocketry club in Grand Junction, Colorado at their launch site on the state line. Members lofted about 20 rockets until increasing winds shut down operations around noon.
First off the pads today, Zephyr Jr. zooms to a 554 foot apogee on a “D” engine, landing only about 50 feet away under calm conditions.
Finally painted and decaled, the MOAB roars to 575 feet on a “F” engine.
Aiming higher, my Frangible Arcas soars to 1,335 feet and lands a considerable distance down range under increasing winds.
