<div dir="ltr">Well, I missed last weekends launch, taking the opportunity to attend Red Glare 14 with my friend Nate Jones. We went on Saturday, and made a good day of it. <br><br>Best of all, for me! I completed my level one flight, and the paperwork is in the mail to Tripoli now! Woohoo! I flew a Hyperloc 835, dubbed the Aes Triplex, on a CTA I218WT. Motor deployed a 50 inch chute that we remembered not reefing as we walked away from the pad! So, I walked about a mile to retrieve her. Other than that, a perfectly straight flight, and true. <br>
<br>Oh, the onboard camera failed 45 seconds after turning on :(<br><br>The ill fated Not so Long Tom, a previous lawn dart, suffered a second stage CATO of an Estes C6-5.<br><br>My homage attempt of a Mean Machine named "The Hilderbrandt," after the 5th grade teacher who introduced me to rocketry flew on a D12-7. Some may recall I tried to fly it at Kentland in March, but the wind ripped a launch lug off at the rail. I used 1/4 inch lugs this time, and had a great flight. <br>
<br>So, when is the next launch? I want my level 2! :)</div>
