Lost rocket at MDRA launch in Coverdale, De

Sorry to hear that. I hope you find it!

Put your name on the list. One rocket was found from three years ago earlier in the season, so there is always hope.

I sent the list the information as soon as I got home. I guess the only good thing is that with the entire rocket being carbon fiber it should be in great shape years from now.....except the electronics.

I hope you included an identifier tag in your rocket somewhere! Good luck on the future recovery...

We once lost a Machbuster out at El Mirage and found it two years later. The BMW yellow paint was in perfect condition as were the decals and the BT/NC. Only the 'chute was trashed.

Hum, I think I saw it sailing past the twin cities, mn area.

*smacking myself in the face*

As the rocket was on the pad I thought to myself that I should have written my contact information on the rocket. I figured I'd take care of it for the next flight. Oh well, live and learn.

As my wife said "I guess you'll have to build another one!" I sure do love her. I can get away with murder now that the Steelers are in the Superbowl!

I once found a Maxi Alpha two years after I launched it at a PARA launch. I was looking for a THOY Robin. The Maxi-Alpha was in pretty sad shape.

The worst part about being a curmudgeon is seeing all of your dire predictions of disaster come true.

I preprinted and laminated a sheet full of "If found, please call...." and have them ready at launch.

Since I assemble my recovery system with snap swivels right at the launch pad, I attach parachute/streamer and then ID tag onto the shock cord.

Never lost a rocket yet, but at least now I have the illusion preparedness.
