N4

N4 Name: N4
Type: Midget B
Motor: K600
Launch: NLD1, ASK 't Harde, 6 August 1993

After success of the N3 and its K600 motor, the N4 was a more advanced rocket and was the prototype of the Midget B/C rockets. It had a recovery transmitter and a timer for the parachute, but no further electronics. A new feature for us was that the parachute was behind an hatch. Such a hatch opens when the rocket parachutes, instead of a detachable nose cone. The flight was a success.
