Flight Log - 2015-09-19 - Richard Holmes's Jupiter C

Plastic model conversion from Glencoe kit. Arrr! 1/48 scale.

Flight Date: 2015-09-19
Rocket Name: Jupiter C
Flyer's Name: Richard Holmes
Motors: C6-3
Launch Site: Syracuse Rocket Club (Weigand's Field)

It lost its 4th stage / satellite on its first flight last year, and three o' t' four precariously tacked-on little “pipe” pieces that miraculously survived that flight didn’t survive storage and transport since then; as a result I flew it under t' moniker o' Jupiter C-Minus on a C6-3. Aye aye!  It too had a rodent-like boost, shiver me timbers, and it came down fast, matey, t' chute having… nay quite deployed.
