Launch Date: January 26th, 2020, Part 3

This is the third and final post covering this event.  Let us jump right in....

Jim Gazur was the only rocketeer on the field going with high-tech flights.  This is a D12 powered test rocket for a dual deployment system he is working on.  The model carried a Stratologger Altimeter set to activate the main parachute at 100 feet.

This unusual model is a Quest DC-Y
built by Mike Goss.  The model turned in an excellent flight, returning in two separate parts.

Jesse Ulibarri concentrates on hooking up his scale D-Region Tomahawk.  The model was powered by an E12-6 motor.  Jesse may very well be the first rocketeer to fly an E motor at Dove Valley!

The start of a perfect flight for the Tomahawk

Straight as an arrow on an A10 motor.  The model turned in a perfect flight and recovery.

Estes Ricochet, A10-3T, Lee Reep
Super Alpha, C6-5, Jesse Ulibarri

Thanks for looking!

  1. Thanks for posting all the pictures, Ed! I started a Mini Enerjet to drag rac3 with Jim. Except it will have to be regular motors. I dont have any B14s for clustering, justboosters.
