Description

DSC01887.JPG (852658 bytes) Kevin King prepares his Estes Express 2-stage rocket for flight.
DSC02000.JPG (729865 bytes) Me (Kevin Yackley) and Bryan Dierking prepare for the eagerly- awaited- yet- minimally- subscribed TRG 3" Goblin Race.  Bryan used an H148 Redline motor and I used an H123 White Lightning motor.  Bryan had more average thrust, but I had 20ns more total impulse.  My altimeter beeped out 2885 feet for this flight.  We called the race a tie since Bryan left the pad first (thanks to the redline propellant) but I touched down sooner.
DSC01998.JPG (736980 bytes) This is my 3" Goblin called "the Money Shot".  I successfully achieved my NAR L1 certification on this flight.

DSC01946.JPG (794716 bytes)DSC01974.JPG (773801 bytes) This my scratch-designed rocket "Certifiable" which flew on an Aerotech I161 White Lightning motor.  

It was supposed to be my L1 cert rocket, but it had a "deployment anomoly" at 2070 feet and "landed hard" on the playa.  

I'm currently rebuilding "Certifiable-II"
