Calmar in June

Darkstar Mini
Arcas T

The Edmonton Rocketry Club held a model rocket launch in Calmar, on June 22, 2024.

I flew my Arcas T, which is the basic Arcas, but with a GPS tracker installed. It rose to 1382 ft, then drifted on the wind until it landed on the roof of the local Legion facility! The GPS tracker worked properly, pointing at the building. They did not have any way to access the roof, but the wind blew the rocket off a few days later and I recovered it in perfect condition.

The second rocket I flew was a Wildman Darkstar Mini, also built using fiberglass. Flying to 1036 ft on an Estes F26, it had a perfect flight and recovery.
