Flight Log - 2015-09-19 - Richard Holmes's Honest Goon
Flight Date: 2015-09-19
Rocket Name: Honest Goon
Kit Name: Excelsior Rocketry - Honest Goon {Plan}
Flyer's Name: Richard Holmes
Motors: C6-5
Launch Site: Syracuse Rocket Club (Weigand's Field)

T' launch lugs seemed fine when I put a ⅛” rod through them at home, matey, but evidently t' rods our club uses are slightly fatter than t' Estes ones: this one be a little tight and rubbed a bit on t' nose cone. Nevertheless I thought it’d probably launch okay. Blimey! Well, it did get off t' rod, me bucko, and it flew pretty well, arrr, except that it curved way over. Ya scallywag! Nay sure how t' fix this… sandin' t' nose cone just above t' upper lug might help. Or bringin' me own ⅛” rod.
