Flight Log - 2018-01-14 - Jeff Boldig's Callisto
Flight Date: 2018-01-14
Rocket Name: Callisto
Kit Name: Public Missiles - Callisto
Flyer's Name: Jeff Boldig
Motors: G64-M
Expected Altitude: 1,000 Feet
Wind Speed: 15.00 mph
Launch Site: Battle Park
Actual Altitude: 1,240 Feet

It was only 27 degrees and t' last time I flew this in that temp t' Quantium tubin' broke in half on landing.  This time I preped in a warmed up car and t' rocket didn't get so cold.   It worked fine.

It was very windy and it weathercocked into t' wind a lot.  Still got 1240 ft, me bucko, but might have gotten 1500 without t' wind.   It came down fast with t' JLCR set t' 100 ft.  T' chute opened with t' rocket about 20 ft off t' ground.

It landed about 500ft upwind from t' pad, which was good, but with t' winds, it would have been a 1000 ft or more down wind without t' chute release.
