Airfest 30, August 30 - September 2 2024, Argonia KS
I went to Argonia for the first time in a few years to fly Peregrine, the 3" minimum-diameter rocket I had been working on all year. Simulations put it between 30,000 and 35,000 feet AGL.
Peregrine flight #1, M685
Weather conditions: sunny; wind N @ 9 mph, 88 F, 34% RH
| Launch time: | Saturday, August 31, 2024, 12:15 pm |
| Weather conditions: | sunny; wind N @ 9 mph, 88 F, 34% RH |
| Motor: | AeroTech M685W-PS White Lightning Moonburner |
| Max altitude: | 23248 feet AGL (TeleMega, GPS), 22060 feet AGL (TeleMega, barometric), 22008 feet AGL (EasyMini, barometric) |
| Max velocity: | 1451 ft/sec (989 mph, Mach 1.3) (TeleMega, accelerometer) |
| Max acceleration: | 13 G (TeleMega, accelerometer) |
