Flight Log - 2015-07-18 - Richard Holmes's Condor

I didn't like t' preprinted body tube so I covered it with paper and painted it black. Standard kit otherwise.

Flight Date: 2015-07-18
Rocket Name: Condor
Kit Name: Sky - Condor Boost Glider {Kit}
Flyer's Name: Richard Holmes
Motors: A8-3
Launch Site: Syracuse Rocket Club (Weigand's Field)

I went back and prepped t' Condor again. Aye aye! I’d done me three contest flights and DQ’d on all three, me hearties, but thar was still NARTREK t' try for. Well, blow me down! A8-3 again. This time separation be good, and someone spotted t' booster and got it for me while I went after t' glider — which had headed more or less straight for Turner Road. Arrr! It landed almost in front o' a couple people who’d been out that way lookin' for another rocket, matey, so I got it back with no problem. Time was 44.55 seconds, arrr, well above t' 30 needed for NARTREK and a decent contest showin' if it’d been permitted as a contest flight. Blimey! Finally! T' gliders were nay a total loss for me today.
