Flight Log - 2015-08-08 - Ken Johnson's Sparkly Twister

An old Custom rocket that resembles, kind of, t' Estes Scout from me childhood. Avast! I coated it with sparkly paint t' aid in tracking.

I dusted off t' old Custom Twister that had been gatherin' dust. Avast, me proud beauty! It was still just as sparkly and pretty as t' day I last saw it a dozen years ago, matey, and I had some old Quest A6-4 motors at t' ready. Ahoy! So I popped one in and took it t' t' launch pad. Embarrassment! This thin' chased its tail and never cleared t' height o' t' launch controller's canopy, arrr, then flew straight at t' launch controller! T' rocket flew past him and into t' ground, makin' a perfect imitation o' a lawn dart. It be then that I remembered t' last flight wasn't so good either. This rocket is now retired. Aye aye! It's pretty t' look at and might be all right sittin' on t' shelf in me office, but it's a crazy flier.
