For those of you who like data here are the two files for the MINI KATANA and Estes Doorknob that I flew last Saturday downloaded from my FlightSketch Mini altimeter. https://flightsketch.com/flights/1342/ https://flightsketch.com/flights/1343/ I also shot a few pictures at the launch site of other rockets that were racked up at the same time as mine while standing waiting. I put those in an iCloud album for lack of a better online storage at present to store them here: https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0u5qXGF1bg68d That’s Chris’s Rocket Supplies trailer chocked full of motors. A slight distraction to the wife and a quick walk through the trailer and snuck a small bag of goodies home taking advantage of no shipping charges and especially no HAZMAT fee! I’m normally not off during the day like today. I had another outpatient procedure on my lower back between L3 and S1 at the pain management clinic this morning completing the right side of my lower back this morning. I just need to repeat the same three procedures on the left side over the next six weeks and I should be fixed up. Then I *should* only have the mobility impairment issue to deal with at launches probably just walking assisted with a cane again. I just wear out with the pain and lung issue that I get winded and tire VERY quickly now. I intend to fly as long as I am able and when I’m no longer able to fly I’ll just build or attend launches and photograph and document the other flyers builds. I need a little more practice with my camera I’m rusty. I set it for 800ASA and tried to shoot between 1/2000 and 1/2500 sec. I should have let it autofocus once while on the pad and then switch to manual focus so it wouldn’t attempt to keep refocusing after the rocket moved but I forgot to do that. I guess I could have just set it on Sport Mode and checked the setting to be sure it picked a fast enough shutter speed but like I said I really need more practice with the settings because in that mode it tries to continuously focus

Something wicked this way comes ...
I end this thread with my next rocket project ...
I got stickers in today for my new Minnie-Magg rocket that my wife bought for me on my birthday 10/4. I still need to build it and I just opened up the custom vinyl decals that came in from StickerShock today ... I bumped this one to the front of my build pile. For the most part it’s just a very simple 3FNC build. I’ve wanted one since it first appeared in the 1987 LOC catalog and I saw one fly for the first time back in 1988 ... gonna paint it blue with a black nose cone of course Big Honker #6 knife shown in the picture for scale.
