GHS 2002 TEDMAPOD Flight

The Evil Dr. Manchu's Avenging Projectile of Doom

Perhaps the most notable part of this flight was that the motor was an I110 from West Coast Hybrids. Rick had purchased this motor and this was the first flight - and it was awesome, soaring to 1188 feet. The only let down was the on-board video. Being hybrid neophytes, we started the camera too early and the video memory was used up while it was still on the pad and the tank was pressurizing.

We'd like to especially thank Andy Woerner for his help in getting this rocket into the air. He was awesome, hanging out while we got our act together prepping our rocket, waiting to tear down his gear until we were ready to fly, and then showing us how it's done. Thanks, Andy!

We want your opinion, so make like a Chicago Democrat and vote early, vote often, vote even if you are dead. However, as this is an electronic ballot, West Palm Beach Democrats will need to find a better excuse than hanging or pregnant chads for failing to properly fill out the form.
