Model Rockets: We're trying out many rockets in calm and gusty winds including the rebuilt Majestic

Gary and I were joined by our new friends, Daryl and Donald. They've been launching locally for many years. The morning started out with winds around 5mph. By 10am, they were gusting to 20mph but that's okay, I had flown the Majestic and Cherokee-E by then.
The eyelet pulled out of the Majestic payload. I made a bulkhead out of balsa and used lots of CA and glue but wasn't enough. I shoulda used epoxy (or bought a plywood bulkhead, nah). This is the rebuilt Majestic after it landed in a HECO substation and they ran it over with their truck and broke the custom made fins off. I didn't bother with an exquisite paint job so just painted it blue and added lots of stickers.
The Ion altimeter graph was decent considering the rapid descent of the NC. The abrupt landing caused some damage to the shoulder. Without the payload bay, the sustainer had a slow gradual descent. Fortunately, it just made it into the park. Daryl was able to pull it out of the tree using an old broom.
The Space Shuttle was also majestic. The glider seemed to fall like a pancake. Fortunately, no damage to the glider or fins. I asked Gary if it was worth the $80. I guess the jury is still out.
I believe the Asteroid Hunter had an overly energetic ejection which caused the 100# Kevlar to snap and partially pull out the motor retainer. The busted forward BT is easy to fix. In fact, I'm gonna try a longer tube. Replacing the motor tube without cutting it open will be a challenge.
Gary was having issues with his controller, and D&D eventually gave up on theirs and started using "alternative methods" that I didn't document. I mean it works. That's how I used to launch back in the day.
I Had the best flight of the @GlenP Mini Viper. Always a crowd pleaser. For Donald's Boosted Chiller, I was expecting it to go 1000ft from past experience. It didn't go nearly that high and ended up lawndarting. It was nearly epic.

The Majestic had a majestic descent. Slow and stable. The Cherokee was living on the edge with that landing. Between the roof and the sidewalk! I’m loving the video/photo montage with the music after each flight. Great still images! Overall a great day of flying! That last flight with the failed sustainer gave me the “chills”.

I see what you did there.

[@johniecornett8975]

Y’all have done some magnificent launches today, but I noticed you didn’t tell what engines and what the name of the Rockets were that you were flying that information is very informative when you do that like that about most of your shows

[@RonzRocketz]

Thanks for watching. It's in the Description timeline so just move your mouse and it should show up in the bottom of the screen.

[@mychannel7921]

You do a great job with these videos. I see these descriptions that you’re referring to and understand, except for the “4pts”, 7pts, etc. What is this?? Thanks in advance! I’ll keep watching!🤗👏

[@johniecornett8975]

Thought I would send you guys a reply. This is May 20th just saw the news. Praying for you and your families and everyone in Hawaii about the flooding. There’s no loss of life and y’all can get along with business soon as possible. My prayers are with you all. God bless you.

Nice launches and as always good variety. Have you ever landed in that pool we see in the on-board video shots? Thanks for sharing.

[@RonzRocketz]

Maybe. 😀 The problem occurs on Sundays when they're closed and I have to jump the fence. Better that than risk some kid falling in trying to get it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIOxpaZmZ8qqmsksi=OEUmYO54Jw-aHtgj&t=84

@@RonzRocketz That's classic reply to my question!

The bird is a stilt.

[@RonzRocketz]

I read they're nonindigenous but have set up here in Hawaii. Don't see too many like the plovers and egrets.
