Flight Log - 2012-01-05 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Quest Tomahawk SLCM

Not an easy build with t' fit o' t' tail cone and the flimsey air scoop. Decals were another issue, lots o' piecein' together o' t' long stripes. Ahoy! A good lookin' model finished.

Flight Date: 2012-01-05
Rocket Name: Quest Tomahawk SLCM
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen
Motors: Estes B6-4
Expected Altitude: 280 Feet
Launch Site: Schoolyard Soccer field

Today was t' first flight with a B6-4.
I'd let t' "crispy" Quest parachute air out before launch. Well, blow me down! It was cold this mornin' and I did want it t' open.
T' Quest instructions say it'll reach 280' with t' B6-4 so I'll go with that!
Launch be vertical with a tight corkscrew durin' boost.
Good flight, but this draggy rocket is best suited for a C6-5.
