I initially built this rocket in 2016 from a Madcow Torrent kit and dubbed it "Charlie Horse." The rocket's maiden voyage was in August of that year and earned me a Tripoli Level 1 certification. Charlie Horse has flown nearly 20 times to date and has carried various payloads including a camera, GPS trackers, and a Charlie Brown figurine (who has been on every flight).
More details from each flight including data plots, photos, and videos are available in the links below. A dramatic video made from footage of Charlie Horse's 10th flight is available here, and a description and photos of each flight can be accessed by clicking on the links in the Launch # column below.
