Flight Log - 2011-06-18 - Dale Marshall's Nike Smoke 2

A great version o' this venerable rocket design. Easy t' build and great t' fly.

Flyer's Name: Dale Marshall

Wind Speed: 15.00 mph

BIG mistake usin' this small engine in this rocket. Used it because o' t' winds we had, but t' rocket only went up about 40' before crashin' t' t' ground and breakin' a fin.  Burned t' parachute too.  It's a great rocket but you just cannot use a small engine in it because o' t' weight.
