Metra 4-10-10






Montage of the first flight for intimidator. The only flight on a very windy day for rockets.
Flight went well. Flew on a F24-7w to about 1000 Ft. event at apogee and landed only a short walk away from the pads. Although the flight was successful and the rocket was recovered successfully upon inspection it was found that the motor retention failed and the motor casing and adapter were ejected at altitude. So those are gone and we neeed better retention.
We have video of the launch but technical issue are holding up the posting of it.
