Flight Log - 2012-02-04 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's 260 Space Booster (Estes Plan)

Built from plans in an old issue o' t' Model Rocket News printed in t' 1960s.

This model has been on me "build list" for 35 years. Ahoy! It has a big cardstock nozzle and clear fins. Looks a little like t' Estes Thor Agena B with Air Force decals.

At 50' feet up, ya bilge rat, it did a full loop, arrr, then vertical again. Turned over at apogee an ejected full 'chute. Well, blow me down! One clear fin shapped in half, me hearties, away from root edge.
