Saturday, November 2nd, was a warn sunny day in Los Angeles.

A slight breeze but otherwise excellent flying weather.

My new Estes PSII E2X Trajector model was loaded with an Estes E16-4 motor.

The E16 motor propelled the Trajector off the pad on a slow, steady flight for this draggy rocket.

Parachute ejection was just past apogee and the rocket decended safely to the ground.

I was able to get some good flight pictures.
