Flight Log - 2023-01-28 - Jeffrey Gortatowsky's Strongtium 29

Scratch built. Rin' and fins. Can use altimeter or not

Flight Date: 2023-01-28
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). Inside t' payload was an Eggtimer Apogee that was ridin' along
for testin' since it was just built. Ahoy! 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. 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. There was an event - late . Avast! And it did make a nice zipper! About 4 inches. T' ET Apogee did set off t' e-match. Blimey! So odds are IT would have saved t' day, matey, had thar been any BP! Oh well, shiver me timbers, cut off t' tube and fly it as a shorter rocket!
