Highlights
The Terrier was a nominal flight. The Arcas weathercocked, so the delay was way too long. Sustained a 6" zipper. The Viper lit all ignitors, but only one motor lit off the pad. A second motor ignited when it was heading down. The Viper pranged and was destroyed. The IA-X96 survived, reported 127 feet. The Initiator flew nice on the F62T. The Sandhawk made another excellent flight on the H123W. The Cheetah flight was nominal. The EZI-65 made another nice flight on the H123W. Final flight of the day was the Hi-Tech with IA-X96 accelerometer, went 2033 feet. It took off fast on the H238T.
