Final Launch of 2023

The ERC held their last flight of the year at Calmar, on November 12, 2023. It was actually quite a nice day, no wind and mostly blue sky.

My Black Tusk DD had failed it’s previous dual deployment attempt because the main parachute was too tightly packed into the upper airframe. I replaced the old tubing with a longer one, creating the Black Tusk DDL.

Flying on a CTI Pro29 G126, it reached an altitude of 1279 ft. It was a perfect dual deployment flight, using my EasyMini, and a great way to close out the year!
