Aerotech Mustang

This is from Launch Report for the 3rd of April 1999, the second meeting of the H.A.R.T. rocket club in 1999. Laurie and John turned up first but neither of them had brought rockets as Laurie wanted to video the rockets today instead and John was a newcomer to the hobby.

The last launch of the day was Peter Barrett's Mustang on a D12-3. Laurie again got into a position to video the launches and waited for the launch, but instead the engine CATO'ed sending a large fireball into the sky and destroying the shock cord. The nose cone went up around 100 feet before it darted itself in the ground just inches from where Laurie was filming.

Videographer sure got a surprise from this D12-3.
