Hopefully we'll fly it with a partial load first. I really would like to get away from the "All UP or Nothing" mentality and move to aviations "incremental flight plan" approach.
To the best of my knowledge, we don't have an "all up" mentality, and never have had. We may have incrementally tested to higher levels than strict prudence would have dictated - that third flight in November was pushing it - but we have always incrementally tested. For the 10 liter flight - in moderate winds, or not at all - I would recommend first flying it with 4 liters, then with 7 liters, and then with 10 liters.
Dave W flew a 3" HPR rocket bought at Black Rock in 2001. The Canadian- made Pro-38 motor pushed the rocket to 780 feet -- respectable performance for a G-size motor.
In 2001? And we're only just hearing of this?
He bought the rocket in 2001.
