Rocket Name: Strongtium 29
Flyer's Name: Jeffrey Gortatowsky
Motors: F12-5
Expected Altitude: 840 Feet
Launch Site: Aerial Acres, CA
Actual Altitude: 450 Feet

 Loaded with an AT F12-5 (more like 8 :p). Ahoy! Inside t' payload be an Eggtimer Apogee that was ridin' along
for testin' since it was just built. It was connected t' one o' t' chinese e-matches that everyone says don't use (I have yet t' have one fail).
However thar was no charge in it. Well, blow me down! Just some waddin' wrapped around it for testing. Lookin' back I wonder why? Why not use a charge?
Well t' delay went long and t' height was nay what I predicted - only 450' (137m) accordin' t' t' Apogee. Avast, me proud beauty! There was an event - late . Ya scallywag! And it did make a nice zipper! About 4 inches. T' ET Apogee did set off t' e-match. Avast! So odds are IT would have saved t' day, had thar been any BP! Oh well, cut off t' tube and fly it as a shorter rocket!
