Flight Log - 2019-08-04 - Matthew Bond's Apogee Mini Condor 002

13mm Boost Glider with unique plastic molded win' joint that gives both a fixed dihedral angle t' t' balsa wings, me bucko, but also sets t' incident angle o' t' entire win' when it is attached t' t' fuselage boom, shiver me timbers, greatly simplifyin' both construction and trimming.  Standard boost pod arrangement with a molded plastic glider hook.

Motors: 1/2A3-2
Wind Speed: 2.00 mph
Launch Site: AMA Site 3

Same model used at NARAM 60.  Nice and straight off t' rod and under boost, arcin' a bit durin' t' coast.  Good separation and transition t' glide.  Settled into a fairly tight circle and just kind o' hung overhead for a bit.  Started t' climb slowly, stayin' pretty much straight overhead for several minutes.  Finally gained enough altitude that it picked up a little wind and headed off t' t' south.  One timer lost sight at 6:20, t' other at 7:19.  Last seen climbin' away t' t' south.  Maxed out, lost.
