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.
