Airfest 29 Launch - September 1st - 4th, Argonia, KS

 Flight #1: Loc Big Nuke on a AT K805G.   

Launch was straight up, good boost no issues.  Dual deploy worked perfectly and the rocket landed in the beans just north of the field.  Tracker worked perfectly too.





Flight #2:  3x Goblin on an AT I357 motor. Expected altitude was 2400 feet.  Launch and recovery with Chute release worked great. Altus-Metrum Tracker led me directly to the rocket which was in the beans again.
