Angelfire Launch #15

Angelfire's 15^th flight was at the OregonRocketry Summer Skies launch on June 22, 2008. This was the first time it flew on an AMW M2200 Skidmark motor. This is one of my favorite motors so I was really looking forward to this flight. Fortunately it all went perfectly! Apogee was at 8,147 feet and Angelfire returned to the ground a mere 454 feet from the launch pad. Sure made recovery easy!

Angelfire Launch #8

Angelfire was launched September 23 at XPRS 2006 on an Aerotech M1939 motor and reached 15,576 feet. Liftoff and climb to altitude went just fine on this flight. The big M1939 has a nice deep roar to it that is wonderful to listen to. The liftoff video below gives a pretty good rendition. Turn-it up loud and enjoy.
