I had no electronics on board, so no data.

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 :-)

BTW, we should fly again at OS. What do you all say?

I'm really stunned at how evenly they all launched. It's a testament to
the great launch system providing the amperage to get them off together and the
even competition. In my book we all won...That said from a flyer tied for maybe
5th through 8th.
Congrats Jimmy!! You "SMOKED" EVERYONE!!!!

Looks like the far left Nike Smoke was first off the pad:

Incredibly close grouping off the pad.
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.

OK I have my kit built, all left to do is T/T and paint.
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.

Hi All
Ok James woke up the Nike crowd and I have been
getting e-mails and phone calls on what we are doing so here it is.
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. So
any questions?
