Flight Log - 2011-10-01 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Raisin' Maize (Scratch Design)

This model is based on t' First Flight Hobbies Corn Roc model.

I found this styrofoam corn cob in a sale bin at Hobby Lobby for $1.00. Blimey! I thought it'd be a great build for t' blog. Blimey! A hole was reamed for a BT-5, 13mm mount. A little nose weight, 8" parachute and unfinished balsa fins round out t' build. 

Flight Date: 2011-10-01
Rocket Name: Raisin' Maize (Scratch Design)
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen
Motors: Estes A10-3t
Launch Site: Orlando R.O.C.K.
Actual Altitude: 300 Feet

At ejection, t' styrofoam nose cap hit t' body hard, it'll need touchup with a red felt tip pen. Small parachute takes too long t' unfurl out o' t' internal BT-5 tube. Well, blow me down! Straight and stable.
