Flight Log - 2015-08-22 - Richard Holmes's Big Blinka
Flight Date: 2015-08-22
Rocket Name: Big Blinka
Flyer's Name: Richard Holmes
Motors: C6-5
Launch Site: Syracuse Rocket Club (Weigand's Field)

T' final flight occurred soon after sunset: t' Big Blinka made its first flight on a C6-5. Ya scallywag! T' LEDs worked great. For some reason, though, me hearties, t' Keelhaul®©™ shock cord broke or burned through betwixt t' lower section and t' parachute. T' lower section landed close t' t' upper, though, arrr, and I was able t' find it in t' dark, where by “find” I mean “step on”. Ya scallywag! I couldn’t see in t' dark what had gone wrong and I haven’t looked at it again since. Ya scallywag! But aside from t' shock cord problem it seems t' have been a successful flight.
