Two gone

Well, I am sad to say that two of my rockets, Johnny Walker Red and the Koliba Krown, are now gone. I went to a launch this past Saturday to fly both of them. I attempted to fly Johnny on an Animal Motor Works(AMW) K670GG. Great motor but the construction didn't hold up to the stress that this particular motor put it through. At about 1500 feet, the rocket came apart and parts were strung over the field and some weren't recoverable since they were blown to bits or disintegrated. I also lost my Perfectflite MAWD unit. So I sighed a bit, tried to recover myself from disbelief and composed myself.

The Koliba Krown was flown, or attempted to be flown, on a Cessaroni I350SS. I wanted to redeem myself after loosing one rocket. Well...the motor launched the rocket just fine but had experienced a "blow-by" from the ejection charge and destroyed the upper payload section as well as zipper the lower section but only a 1/2" so that is repairable.

So a beautiful day for flying rockets but not a beautiful day for me. Back to the drawing board I go!
