Sprint - Test Flight 3 - Footage and Data Review (Patreon)
Content
Hey Patrons, lots of footage and data from yesterday's flight here! I hope you don't mind how often I've been posting here, I'm sure it creates quite a few emails but the goal is to make sure I share as much as I can :)
We lost a TON of light with two failed ignition attempts yesterday, pretty disappointing footage for the most part. New rule: launch happens 20 min before sunset - video quality will be much better at the small sacrifice of cool pad lighting. In the worst case scenario that it takes a few attempts, we should still be okay on footage quality.
Anyway, I'm going to launch again tomorrow! The motor for this flight had an anomaly, i explain it in the data but I believe the propellant began burning on the side of the grain, not just the end. Wind is super low tomorrow, I've got plenty of motors, and I want to get a full duration burn with that pitch maneuver, so expect more updates soon!
Thank you for your support,
Joe
