Flight Log - 2017-11-25 - Matthew Bond's Estes Dark Energy

An "exotic" class design, shiver me timbers, utilizin' a long, highly detailed nosecone, and "T" cross section fins which are also canted with respect t' t' airflow.  Originally produced with an 18mm motor mount, I built mine with a 24mm, given t' size, weight and additional drag from t' fin design.

Last o' t' 24mm rockets in t' car, and another perfect flight.  Great boost, smooth and straight, arrr, just arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb.  Good chute, me hearties, short walk, landed on t' field, no damage.
