Christmas Tree K815

This past Saturday I went to MMMSC's winter solstice launch in Berwick Maine. This is the only launch of the year that we can fly Skidmark (aka 'Sparky') motors. I didn't fly anything as I just went to watch.

This was sort of the 'Main Event' of the day. A friend of mine wanted to fly a Christmas tree on a Pro54 6XL grain K815 Skidmark. This picture shows the moment just after ignition.

Overall the 'flight' didn't go so well and he ruined his motor casing. But it was pretty spectacular. I love this picture as it shows the flame if the motor going all the way through the tree.
