Flight Log

Flight	Date	Motor	Launch Site	Comments
1	2001/11/03	H148-SR	Zeilmann Field, Reading, KS	Payload: Mk-I RLB. My first redline motor. Also my first 38mm motor.
2	2001/11/11	J350-MW	Kloudbusters, Argonia, KS	Payload: PerfectFlite Alt 9200, Mk-I RLB. Successful L2 cert! Reported apogee: 2880 ft.
3	2001/12/09	I211-SW	Teeniemunde, Arma, KS	Payload: PerfectFlite Alt 9200. Used the wrong delay. Nose cone came off (Kevlar cord ripped through the mounting hole). No other damage. Reported apogee: 1360 ft.
4	2002/04/06	I161-SW	SLRA, Elsberry, MO	Payload: Mk-I RLB.
5	2002/06/16	I161-SW	Teeniemunde, Arma, KS
6	2002/09/01	H112-SJ	Kloudbusters, Argonia, KS	Payload bay not used. Nose cone separated but was recovered.
7	2002/09/01	H242-ST	Kloudbusters, Argonia, KS
8	2002/10/26	I161-MW	Zeilmann Field, Reading, KS	Payload: Perfectflite Alt 9200. Dual deployment with motor backup. Used 2g BP in the lower section and 1.5g BP in the upper section. Main came out early. The altimeter reported 1000 feet.
9	2002/11/09	H123-SW	Kloudbusters, Argonia, KS
10	2003/05/10	K445-17A	Gridley, KS	Payload: Mk-II RLB, Perfectflite Alt9200 Forgot to arm the altimeter. Motor-based ejection caused it to tumble in with minor damage.
11	2009/09/06	J360-16A	Kloudbusters, Argonia, KS	Payload: Mk-II RLB Slow spin. Used a 14 second delay.
12	2009/11/14	I161-SW	Teeniemunde, Arma, KS	Almost disappeared into the clouds. This was my first HPR flight at Teeniemunde in over seven years.
13	2009/11/14	I211-MW	Teeniemunde, Arma, KS	Payload: Mk-II RLB Landed south of the road, crossing the tree line in an opening right between two groups of trees. Don P. had just arrived at the field and came by to help with the recovery.
14	2010/06/26	J295-16A	Teeniemunde, Walnut Grove, MO	Payload: Mk-II RLB, ARTS2 altimeter configured for dual deployment (motor backup), Rino 110. Lost visual soon after the drogue came out. I never saw it in the air again but was able to monitor it via the Rino. Around the time the main should have deployed someone who could still see it confirmed that the main was out. I was able to detect a decrease in the descent rate via the Rino. The Rino reported a max altitude of 6013 feet MSL. Subtracting site elevation of 1078 feet MSL this means a max altitude of 4935 feet. The altimeter reported 4379 feet (baro).
15	2010/09/04	I211-MW	Kloudbusters, Argonia, KS	Payload: Mk-II RLB, Altimeter One Altimeter reported 1700 ft.
16	2010/10/30	J355-17A	Teeniemunde, Walnut Grove, MO	Payload: Mk-II RLB, Missileworks RRC2 altimeter configured for dual deployment with motor backup, Rino 110. The Altimeter reported 5207 feet. The Rino reported 5407 feet (6496 MSL - 1089 site elevation.) Don P. was along for the recovery. All but two shroud lines on the drogue tore.
17	2010/11/13	J355-17A	Kloudbusters, Argonia, KS	Payload: Mk-II RLB Missileworks RRC2 altimeter configured for apogee deployment, reported 5263 feet. Landed 0.7 mile from the truck, east of Dixon road in a field of sunflowers. Don P. drove picked me up just west of 80th and Dixon.
18	2011/06/18	I225-MFJ	Tripoli Nebraska, Pickrell, NE	Payload: Missleworks RRC2-mini, Mk-II RLB Altimeter reported 1084 feet. Landed in corn.
19	2011/06/18	K360-13A	Tripoli Nebraska, Pickrell, NE	Payload: Missleworks RRC2-mini, Mk-II RLB Altimeter reported 5297 feet. Recovered by some other people who were in the field. Don P. caught up with them to make sure the rocket got back to me.
20	2011/07/09	J295-16A	Kloudbusters, Argonia, KS	Payload: Mk-II RLB, Missleworks RRC2-mini Dual deploy with motor backup for the drogue. The drogue charge didn't fire, possibly due to loose lead. The altimeter reported 4549 ft, 840 ft/sec max velocity, and 18 seconds to apogee.
21	2011/09/03	K360-13A	Kloudbusters, Argonia, KS	Payload: Mk-II RLB, Missileworks RRC2 altimeter configured for dual deployment with motor backup, Rino 110. Hung on the power lines north of the launch site. Used the club's hot stick to get it down and then went to help another guy get his off the line. The Rino reported an apogee of 6813 ft MSL so taking into account the ground level of 1246 ft MSL the apogee was 5567 ft ASL.
22	2012/06/16	J380-16A	Tripoli Nebraska, Pickrell, NE	Payload: Mk-III RLB, Missileworks RRC2 altimeter, Rino 110. The Rino reported an apogee of 5548 ft MSL so taking into account the ground level of 1400 ft MSL the apogee was 4148 ft ASL. The RRC2 reported an apogee of 3912. The RRC2 was configured for dual deployment with the main at 1000 ft. The charge was left in the motor for motor backup. The RRC2 reported a top speed of 810 ft/sec and 16 seconds to apogee. After going about 2000 ft north of the pad at apogee, it drifted back and landed just 130 feet north of the pad.
23	2012/09/02	K360-13A	Kloudbusters, Argonia, KS	Payload: Mk-III RLB, Missileworks RRC2 altimeter, Rino 110. The Rino reported an apogee of 7084 ft MSL so taking into account the ground level of 1267 ft MSL the apogee was 5817 ft ASL. The RRC2 reported an apogee of 5377 ft. The RRC2 was configured for dual deployment with the main at 1000 ft. The charge was left in the motor for motor backup which was good because the RRC2's charge did not blow. The RRC2 reported a top speed of 630 ft/sec and 18 seconds to apogee. It landed about 0.67 miles away in a bean field to the NNE.
24	2013/06/15	I211-MW	Tripoli Nebraska, Jansen, NE	Payload: Mk-III RLB, Rino 110. This was my second flight of the day after waiting out two rain showers. It landed almost straight north 930 feet from the launch pad. The Rino reported an apogee of 2987 ft MSL with a ground level of 1450 ft for an apogee of 1547 ft AGL.
25	2013/07/13	I150-11A	Kloudbusters, Argonia, KS	Payload: Mk-III RLB, Missileworks RRC2 altimeter, Rino 110. Reduced the delay to 10 seconds but it was not enough of a reduction. The rocket was almost halfway down before the recovery system deployed, resulting in significant damage to the coupler. Due to an operator error with the altimeter, no data were recorded.
26	2015/09/04	K360-13A	Kloudbusters, Argonia, KS	Payload: Mk-III RLB, RINO 110. Delay adjusted to 10 seconds. The RINO reported a peak altitude of 7365 ft MSL. Subtracting field elevation of 1257 means the altitude was 6108 ft AGL. It landed 1.1 miles away at a bearing of 16 degrees from the launch pad. I drove to the next road up to recover it.
27	2015/11/14	I161-SW	Kloudbusters, Argonia, KS	Payload: Mk-III RLB, RINO 110. The RINO reported a peak altitude of 2426 ft MSL. Subtracting field elevation of 1251 means the altitude was 1175 ft AGL. I walked out to recover it at the same time that Tim N. walked out to recover his rocket that landed several hundred feet past mine. While recovering his rocket we got to see the Kloudbuster Max rocket fly.
28	2016/09/03	I211-MW	Kloudbusters, Argonia, KS	Payload: Mk-III RLB, Rino 110. Due to the CTI fire I couldn't get a K360 reload so I located a reload for my 38/480 case. The rocket landed just west of the cars at the west side of the field.
