Tripoli WA Grass Valley October 2009 Launch Report

The October 2009 Grass Valley launch was good fun. Below is a run down of the day.



The view arriving at the launch site.



Dave and I thought it would be fun to drag race our Aerotech Initiators.



Mine lit, Dave's didn't. I haven't seen my Initiator (or RT 29mm 40/120 casing) since. It just vanished.



RIP Aerotech Initiator (Maiden flight, G64)



So back to the trusty Thug.



And off she goes.



I brought the Snarky out as well (it was the last launch of 2009 after all!).



This rocket flies wonderfully.

There you have it, the end of my first season in High Power Rocketry. 2010 looks to be a very good year. Tripoli WA is really hitting it's stride and I believe you'll be seeing some really interesting posts in the next few months.
