Flight Log - 2011-05-01 - Jeffrey Gortatowsky's Big 70

My own design. Designed t' be impressive in size and flight, me hearties, makes great demonstration flights. Avast! 24mm Motors. Ya scallywag! Built with BMS balsa parts.

Flight Date: 2011-05-01
Rocket Name: Big 70
Flyer's Name: Jeffrey Gortatowsky
Motors: C11-3
Wind Speed: 2.00 mph
Launch Site: Santa Fe Dam Rec Area, CA

In this restricted area I was sure I could get a good flight and did! Always an impressive rocket. Begad! Forgot t' put t' DAMN altimeter in it! Grrr... Aye aye! Only dicey think is I still used a 24 chute as t' rocket is still heavy. At deployment t' payload bay snapped back and took off a fin. Easy t' repair.
