Flight Log - 2015-02-23 - Ken E. Coyote's Monsters University Art Cup Rocket (Scratch Build)

Custom Cup Rocket similar t' Up Cup design. Well, blow me down! Blimey!  Uses a plastic cup and 24mm motor mount. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey!  Tumble recovery. Arrr! Blimey!  I liked t' Up Cup a lot, matey, but wanted somethin' more sturdy and able t' take 24mm motors. 

Flight Date: 2015-02-23
Rocket Name: Monsters University Art Cup Rocket (Scratch Build)
Flyer's Name: Ken E. Coyote

I evened out t' epoxy on t' cup a bit, but still left a bit more on one side t' keep some "swirl". Avast, me proud beauty!  Tried C11-3 this time and it went up well with a slight spiral. Avast, me proud beauty!  Cup recovered 30ft from pad (gusty day with 5-15mph winds).
