Medicine Wheel 4


Here are a few pictures from Medicine Wheel 4 at CFB Suffield, Alberta.

Three of us drove in from Vancouver to launch my two stage bird. Saturday the 29th yielded poor weather but blue skies on Sunday enabled us to fly before we had to return home. The calculated altitude was over 20,000 feet and I'm sure it was mighty close to the predictions. There's a great liftoff shot of the rocket clearing (and torching) the tower under the thrust of the mighty L1120. I have no other pictures of the rocket in flight, but it staged perfectly to the K700 and just kept going. The booster was a little toasty when it came back, but all in all a great flight. A year's worth of work came together perfectly.

Many thanks to all who helped out,
