Flight Log - 2015-02-22 - Ken E. Coyote's Monsters University Art Cup Rocket (Scratch Build)

Custom Cup Rocket similar t' Up Cup design. Ya scallywag!  Uses a plastic cup and 24mm motor mount. Begad!  Tumble recovery. Ya scallywag!  I liked t' Up Cup a lot, but wanted somethin' more sturdy and able t' take 24mm motors. 

Flight Date: 2015-02-22
Rocket Name: Monsters University Art Cup Rocket (Scratch Build)
Flyer's Name: Ken E. Coyote
Motors: C6-3
Actual Altitude: 400 Feet

First test launch o' custom cup rocket. Blimey!  Has a 24mm motor tube, but for test I used C6-3 with adapter. Ahoy!  Had a nice swirly chuggin' rise up and fell down 20 ft from t' pad.  Wife's response while recordin' video was "Oh my!"  Reason for spiral was that I ran out o' epoxy and had more on one side o' t' cup than t' other. Ahoy!  Was goin' t' fix; however spiral chuggin' flight was pretty awesome, me bucko, so I'll test it some more. Ya scallywag!  Will try next flight on C11-3.
