|---|---|---|---|---|
| Star Rider | 1 | Estes 12" Parasheet | Estes A8-3 | Normal liftoff, flight straight with no apparent effect from small canards on nose cone; ejection approximately one second early. |
| Star Rider | 2 | Estes 12" Parasheet | Estes B6-4 | Normal flight, some arcing evident toward "top" of model, i.e. pitch up axis. Delay again a little short. |
| Blue Star | 1 | 12" plastic streamer | Estes 1/2A6-2 | Piston worked as expected, but will require cleaning after each flight. Model ejected motor, but recovery system operated normally also. |
| Star Rider | 3 | Estes 12" Parasheet | Aerotech 18/20 RMS, D13-7T reload kit | After four attempts to launch, a new igniter resulted in a instant igniton, straight high flight with small amount of pitch-up arcing. Ejection failed, model lawn-darted from appr. 1400 feet into swampy area; model and reload casing lost. |
