Tom Montemayor - Skye Dance XXVII
Tom Montemayor proudly shows off Spectra before flight. This is revision 3 of the basic design, sporting a fiberglass wraped flexible phenolic airframe tube and dual barometric recovery.
Lift-off on a Kosdon K350. A real photographic challenge; a high speed rocket, low light conditions, and a brand new digital camera. Tom hadn't found the "low light" button yet; this won't be a problem next time. The flight was perfect.
Altitude data from the flight. Peak altitude 5418 feet.
Velocity data from the flight. Max velocity 727 feet/second.
