Lost a scratch built 7.5 in. diameter approx 6 ft. tall 4 fin rocket with a 54mm mount and white and black( Grayish) camo type paint scheme. Has a hinged door on airframe for altimeter compartment. Contained an Adept ALTS25 altimeter. White 48 in. silk military surplus chute. Blue 2 in. tubular nylon strap leading to 3/8/in. pink tubular nylon recovery harness approx 30 ft. long. Nose cone has a hole cutout in the shoulder with a square metal plate mounted inside for nose weight. Motor casing is a 54/2560. It didn't crash but got carried by the wind into the trees or onto the farm field S.E. of the runway at the June launch. This thing is a real warrior and has survived some rude motors for a rocket this size.
Will be at the Sept 30 launch in the after noon after work to see if I can track it down.
