On Tuesday, May 9, members from team 2662 traveled to the Walkersville Maryland launch site for a final test flight before the TARC finals on May 13.
The day was mostly sunny, around 60 degrees, with wind around 10mph. We got off 2 flights.
Objectives
- One test flight for the Red/White/Blue rocket at 415g with an E20-7.
- Initial test flight for our backup Orange/Green rocket at 415g with an E20-7.
Lessons
- Both rockets performed nicely but too low. May have been the wind or too much weight.
- Both E20s had the same lot number.
- The new orange rocket will stay our backup.
- We end the qualification flights with no eggs broken and no lost rockets.
- We are ready for the finals on Saturday.
