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

An RTF bird that little kids will enjoy. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey!  Decent performer and a great choice for a first rocket due t' it bein' ready t' fly almost immediately upon openin' t' package.  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, but t' rocket had tipped over and was headin' down for several seconds before t' ejection charge fired.  Recovered without damage.  I might be tempted t' try it with a C6-3 next time.
