Flight Log - 2011-04-17 - Alex Zoghlin's Mach Buster
Launched it on one of CTI's new reloadable 24mm F240 Vmax motor.
All i can say is WOW!
rocksim indicated it would go 0 to 1800 MPH in about .3 seconds (which is the burn time of the engine), and reach about 4000 ft.
I couldn't fit a tracker on it, but decided to write my phone number on it just in case.....
When the motor lit, it sounded like an explosion. I had a 30fps video camera going, and only got 1 frame of the rocket leaving the pad, which means it was probably going faster than 1800 MPH by my calculations.
I can't say much more. Nobody ever saw it, or heard from it once it left the pad.
