Maybe you all can help me with this cause I'm in new territory with this "kick ass" flight. I used a Hi-Alt 45 altimeter (not high end I'll grant) and set mach delay to 4 second (just in case). My understanding is that the altiude baro delays sampling for 4 seconds, right? My sim estimates an altitude of about 2k at 4 seconds. My altimeter read out 4968. Does that mean my approx altitude was 6900? That coincides with all my sims... or did I lay an egg and only go 4968? Otherwise, all I know is, it recovered successfully :-) GW ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Dougherty" <jafrado@xxxxxxxxx> To: tccrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: "Lee Scott" <leescott91006@xxxxxxx>, "Richard Dierking" <richard.dierking@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2012 9:24:41 PM Subject: [tccrockets] Re: Nike Drag Race Jimmy, Gary, Richard, did you guys get flight stats?

Thanks TCC for a great weekend. I have video from eight cameras to edit through, so it might take a bit. And if you launched from the away pad, I might have some launch photos for you.

Then she will be ready to kick some ass. Did a custom airfoil effect on the 1/4” thick ply. fins, it looks sweet. Fins are 7/16” thick at the root and ~5/16” at the tip. Then the airfoil tapers to the leading and trailing edge down to ~3/16”. Fins will be composite of 1/4” birch ply, 3/32” basswood, west, and 1.5 fiberglass. Jimmy F.

Nike Drag race on any size Nike Smoke you want but it has to have a K motor in it or larger if you decide to fly a larger Nike. Repeat- Has to be a Nike Smoke now the motor of choice was the K2045 I will have about 14 or 15 of them and if you are in the drag race with a K2045 I will do the motor for $99.00 only the K2045 so if you have a Nike and want to fly another motor you can but I am not sure why you would want to get your assed kicked with something less. I also have Nike’s in stock in all sizes 4”, 5.5”, 7.5” and 10” in the Polecat brand and I have a few of the Madcow 4” glass Nikes which are basically the Performance Nike’s. I saw a post where Aaron wanted to fly the K1103X well as long as it is in a Nike then fine but the problem Aaron is we did this motor as a demo last year and Steve Sawyer got whipped with that motor and I talked to Aerotech and they are still not California certified a year later, so Karl is going to let me know when it can go into California.
