My notes say the ejection was a touch late on the first flight so I'd think an 8 second delay would be too much.

Oh - before you ask: 1307 feet.

Second afterthought: for what it's worth it was flown from a six foot long 1/4 inch rod.


My Ascender flew one flight with the F15-6 just before I flew the Majestic and I couldn't agree more, quite nice! I flew four of the F15-6 engines with 6 and 8 second delay, and one with zero delay yesterday. These new engines are great. The Ascender / F15-6 combo is just perfect and rocket was recovered just a short distance from the pad since we had minimal winds.

Thanks, you always post your altimeter flight data (and you knew I would ask).
