The Centurion with its new booster got its first outing today. It was very windy but I wanted to fly anyway.
The booster was loaded with one of my dwindling stock of A10-0s and, like a dunce, I put an A8-3 in the sustainer. It took off fine and staged at a low altitude. I like that. I can see it. I got my booster back.
The staging was flawless. The sustainer flight was not. The A8 is not on the list for this rocket and it was underpowered even with the initial speed of the A10. It arced over and hit the ground before ejection. Even so, no harm was done. I'm going to be flying this booster more often.
I hope Estes makes good on its promise!
