Casey's Tripoli Level 2 Rocket Pictures

Here are some pictures of my Tripoli Level 2 HPR certification attempt.
It is a Giant Leap Rocketry Firestorm54.
It's name is 'High Blood Sugar' since I'm Diabetic. B)

Obligitory rocket pose. Nice gut!

Filling out the UROC flightcard for my cert flight.

Installing the ignitor into the Pro38 J285.
Cesaroni products kick butt IMO. The hardware is cheap, they are extremely reliable, they are as easy to use as single use rocket motors.

Making sure the rocket is all together before flight. Another nice gut shot. hard_return_1

Casey_Tired
Tired after looking for 2.5 hrs before finding my rocket.
The rocket went approx. 6000-7000 feet AGL (Above Ground Level) but drifted 10,000-13,000 ft because of wind.
Thanks to Kent Spillman for his help!

Some family members in attendence for the historic event.

What family members do when they get bored... :)

Here is a link to my useless Motor Impulse List (uMIL)

A favourite picture of the ignition of a SRB. Cool! It's not everyday that you see a 14 ft smokering! B)

Go back.
