A I140W-14 motor was used for the feb-23 flight, and a J270W-14 was used for the jul-23 flight. The weather was fair. 1mph wind for the fed-23 flight. 7mph winds for the jul-23 flight. Both flights were performed with temperatures around 65°F.

A J530 motor was used for all flights with the Madcow adventurer. Both of the 17 Apr 2021 flights weathercocked a fair amount. On the same flights, the thermistors were somehow reading about 70°F. The humidity, RH, was about 20%, and the wind read 9mph.
The following are CSV log files of data from the Featherweight GPS.
The following are Microsoft Excel Files that came from the Featherweight GPS .csv files. They have been edited to add time in seconds from the start of logging. They also have plots of the time vs. altitude data for the flights.

For the 15th of November, 2019 flights, we used an F67-9 motor. The Nov-15 weather was pretty calm. 1mph winds, about 30% humidity, 65°F. For the Feb 5th flights, a G77-10R/L motor was used. There was no wind, 66°F, 37% humidity. For the April-21 flights the first flight used a H128W-14 motor; the second used a G138T-14 motor. Wether: 9mph winds, 67°F, 24% humidity.
Note: the following use ParseTeensyLoggerEggfinder.m.
The following use ScanTeensyDataLogger.m. The “trimmed” files have been trimmed to contain only the flight data with a little pre- and post-flight data. The untrimmed files contain all of the data from the time logging was started until when it was stopped.

The feb-21 flight: G78-10G/L Motor, 48°F, 1mph winds, 46% humidity Mar-10 flight 1: J270W-14 motor, 61°F, 18mph winds, 30% humidity Mar-10 flight 2: H128W-10 motor, 69°F, 8mph winds, 22% humidity
Note: The 5-Feb-21 flight data had a lot of interference from the GPS that was located too close to the logger. The trimmed and pruned file has beeen cut down to the flight data with just a little pre- and post-flight data, and it’s had most of the bad points removed from the file.
The 1-D processed data for the Vulcanite_G78-10G.TXT flight is in VulcaniteG78-10G_Flight_Data.xlsx.
