Flight Log - 2014-12-06 - K Sonesen's BAR Crayon 38mm

This is a modified version o' t' Bay Area Rocketry 38mm kit.  I moved t' motor tube 2" aft, ya bilge rat, added a third centerin' ring, shiver me timbers, and an Aeropack retainer.  I also used a kevlar y-bridle, 15' o' 9/16" tubular nylon, and a KSR 30H chute. Arrr! All connections are made with 1/4" quicklinks. I added 5 ounces o' ballast t' t' nosecone so that I can launch on I225 motors and similar.

Beautiful day, me bucko, beautiful boost. Aye aye! Deployment just at apogee. Aye aye! So little wind that rocket landed 120' from launch pad.  Those are t' kind o' retrieval hikes I like.
