U4EA

Team: Mike, Dave, Michael, Scott

Club: Washington Aerospace Club

Motors: 1 central N2300, 4 J250 CTI Skidmarks

Project Goal: The team set our sights on a group project for the 2009 flying season. Knowing that bigger is always better, we started with 24' of 12"dia tube. We wanted to maximize the "show" for the flight so we canted the four 54mm motors outward at a 15 degree angle to shoot the skidmark propellant out away from the central purple flame. First flight of U4EA at FITS 2009 was slow, graceful and nearly perfect.

Aim for XPRS 2009 is a second successful flight.
