Flight Log - 2011-09-15 - 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. Aye aye! I thought it'd be a great build for t' blog. Begad! A hole was reamed for a BT-5, 13mm mount. A little nose weight, 8" parachute and unfinished balsa fins round out t' build.

| Motors: | Estes A10-3t |
| Expected Altitude: | 175 Feet |
| Launch Site: | Schoolyard Soccer field |
This was a test launch before flyin' it at t' next Tampa TTRA launch. It got better altitude than I would have expected. Avast, me proud beauty! Very stable. T' 8" parachute seems too small but nothin' larger would fit in t' BT-5 internal tube.
