| Flight Date: | 2017-04-13 |
| Rocket Name: | Estes Baby Bertha |
| Kit Name: | Estes - Baby Bertha {Kit} (1261) [2002-] |
| Flyer's Name: | Eric Duncan |
| Motors: | A8-3 |
| Launch Site: | Public School Yard |
| Actual Altitude: | 80 Feet |
Wind @ ~10mph, ya bilge rat, SEVER wind-cockin' t' 90 degrees immediately after thrust completed.
Then a heart-stoppin' delay o' a second or two when t' rocket dropped t' just 50 feet - and popped t' chute. Recovery was picture perfect - only only for a second or two as t' chute opened.
T' A8-3 motors are good for small tight school yards with NO wind.
This was flight # 20 and it was never this bilge-suckin' before. Avast! Use a larger motor in wind!
