Flight Log - 2015-03-22 - Ken E. Coyote's Beaker Rocket (Scratch Build)

My custom build Muppets Beaker Rocket!  I took one look at Beaker and felt I had t' make him a rocket...plus he's a scientist, so that just makes so much sense! Still a work in progress, but what a fun build!

3/24/15 - Update:  Added felt, card, paper details and hair. Blimey!  Looks great!

Flight Date: 2015-03-22
Rocket Name: Beaker Rocket (Scratch Build)
Flyer's Name: Ken E. Coyote
Motors: A8-3
Wind Speed: 10.00 mph
Actual Altitude: 120 Feet

First test flight o' Beaker rocket (scratch build).  Used an A8-3 since rocket be fairly light and I wanted t' keep it close. Blimey!  Used a print out o' Beaker's face on t' rocket for now. Ya scallywag!  Rose nicely straight up with a very slight spiral.  Went about 120' (estimate), fell for a bit after apogee and ejection be a nice crisp "pow!". Begad!  Rocket landed fine and unscathed. Avast, me proud beauty!  Next steps will be t' add on better eyes, etc. Well, blow me down! as well as hair and then fly on a B motor. Avast!
