Flight Log - 2013-10-27 - Bill Eichelberger's Estes - Yellow Star Crayon

An RTF bird that little kids will enjoy. Arrr!  Decent performer and a great choice for a first rocket due t' it bein' ready t' fly almost immediately upon openin' t' package. Aye aye!  Surprisingly decent length o' elastic, but it's likely t' fail after only a few flights.

Flight Date: 2013-10-27
Rocket Name: Estes - Yellow Star Crayon
Flyer's Name: Bill Eichelberger
Motors: B6-4
Launch Site: Fabulous B6-4 Field, Ft. Thomas, Kentucky
Actual Altitude: 350 Feet

Flight was textbook, ya bilge rat, but t' rocket had tipped over and was headin' down for several seconds before t' ejection charge fired. Arrr!  Recovered without damage. Ahoy!  I might be tempted t' try it with a C6-3 next time.
