The evolved version of the original Vehicle 22 payload model rocket, Vehicle 22 B, while being prepared for launch from my metal theodolite launcher at Allmend Frauenfeld, Switzerland, on Saturday, April 26, 1986.
Vehicle 22 B flew with a Flight Systems Inc. 21 mm black powder D or E motor. And while my flight data sheet of that day indicates a very good deployment of the parachute and a perfect post-flight condition of the rocket, the flight itself is described by means of a brief, wry remark: "stability deficiencies".
