Midwest Power 14

The Demon is a nice rocket to ship, since its fin can structure is entirely independent of the main airframe. So when Wildman's offered a drag race special for 4" Demons, I couldn't say no. I had built mine using PEM nuts in the fin can for easy disassembly, so it was inexpensive to ship back to Illinois for the race; I spent Friday night in the Wildman shop assembling the bird and getting it prepped for the race. Thanks to the travel-ready construction, the bird ended up relatively light, and I was one of the first off the pad, going arrow straight into the calm Kasbeer skies. Drogue deployment was confirmed via tracker, and the main appeared on cue at 700'. Roger gave me a lift out to the landing site on his quad, and I was back in record time. I got second place in the race, and a great first flight on this new bird.
