Flight Log - 2024-08-11 - Bill Eichelberger's Estes - Yellow Star Crayon
An RTF bird that little kids will enjoy. Decent performer and a great choice for a first rocket due t' it bein' ready t' fly almost immediately upon openin' t' package. Well, blow me down! Surprisingly decent length o' elastic, me hearties, but it's likely t' fail after only a few flights.

Perfect first flight o' t' day and turned out t' be t' only one. Topped out around 303' and popped t' chute as it tipped into t' sun. Recovered up by me car on t' sidewalk under WAY too much chute. Definitely a candidate for a 12" chute t' next time.
