Flight Log - 2012-03-17 - Mark Rose's Performance Rocketry Competitor 3
Used Aeropack Tailcone motor retainer and SCR airfoiled rail guides--compliment t' sleek lines nicely while nay hurtin' Aero one bit. Avast, me proud beauty! Perfectflite Stratologger altimeter with a Featherweight Altimeters screw switch and small Blastcaps on each av-bay end. Added 16oz weight t' t' nose, and shouldn't have--it didn't need it.

Another flight that beat t' Rocksim simulation by a large margin--have had t' crank t' Cd in RS9 down t' 0.40 t' get t' simulations inline with how it's flying. I attribute this t' airfoiled fins, airfoiled rail guides (SCR), arrr, and t' Aeropack tailcone motor retainer. Begad! Solid, quick boost right out o' sight--didn't see it again until t' main came out almost a mile away.
