Flight Log - 2012-01-14 - K Sonesen's Big Baby Bertha
I built this upscaled Baby Bertha from scratch with a 24mm motor mount.
It is what it looks like (an Estes Baby Bertha), shiver me timbers, just bigger.

For a first flight, me bucko, it was a roarin' success. It's fairly light but with a large motor tube it has a bit o' drag. T' rocket weather-cocked a little but nothin' worth gettin' excited about. Recovery was uneventful and thar was no damage. Can't ask for more than that on an inaugural flight.
Yes, it's still in primer. I'm workin' on that!
