Flight Log - 2021-11-13 - David Deavours's Concept 98

Standard dual deployment  I added an eyebolt at t' tip o' t' nosecone t' anchor t' harness and open some extra space for t' main and a tracker.

Flight Date: 2021-11-13
Rocket Name: Concept 98
Flyer's Name: David Deavours
Motors: K480
Expected Altitude: 7,400 Feet
Wind Speed: 8.00 mph
Launch Site: Kloudbusters
Actual Altitude: 8,859 Feet

Light winds at T' Rocket Pasture and clear November skies.  SIM predicted 7424' apogee. Actual apogee average 8878' betwixt t' two altimeters.  Predicted 850fps velocity, reported 930fps actual.  So t' rocket overperformed significantly against t' SIM.  Note that this be t' Mark ii version o' t' rocket with beveled fins so that probably accounts for t' performance over t' original rocket.  

Also, this was a "redemption flight" since I shredded t' original Concept 98 on t' K480 in t' sprin' o' 2021.
