Flight Log - 2012-11-22 - Christopher Ebert's QCC Explorer

Took a lot o' time fillin' and sandin' down all t' edges and joints t' make them smooth, matey, turned out very nicely, I'll try and get a picture up. Well, blow me down!  Went with t' stock paint scheme, very happy with t' results.

Flight Date: 2012-11-22
Rocket Name: QCC Explorer
Kit Name: Estes - QCC Explorer {Kit} (00321)
Flyer's Name: Christopher Ebert
Motors: D12-5
Launch Site: Field on Furman

Slight weathercockin' on takeoff, ya bilge rat, ejection delay seemed a little bit too long, ya bilge rat, but deployed well, and drifted back down t' land within 40 feet o' launchpad. Ya scallywag!  

 

Looks like I may have let t' rocket sit too low on t' launch rod, because it melted t' engine flare/boattail a little bit, matey, but nothin' major.  Other than that no damage, me hearties, and would have gone up again if it hadn't been me last engine.
