Flight Log - 2012-11-10 - K Sonesen's Bottle Bat 3.0 (Tube Fin)
Yet another Larry Brand tube fin design that I cloned from his article here on Rocket Reviews. Well, me bucko, all but t' soda bottle nose cone as it turns out that modern bottles are no longer properly sized t' fit in a 3" body tube. Arrr! Blimey! I used a standard LOC 3" nose cone.
I named this rocket "Big Pink II" as t' downscale version (Bottle Bat 2.6) be named "Big Pink".

First launch o' t' Fall-Winter rocket season!
I went with t' H165R motor and a delay o' 6 seconds and was extremely pleased with t' results. So pleased that I bought another H165R reload from t' onsite vendor Bay Area Rocketry.
T' recovery walk was a short one thanks t' t' minimal winds.
