Flight Log - 2018-09-08 - Matthew Bond's Estes Mega Der Pink Max

Estes upscaled Red Max Pro Series II kit.  Added an eyebolt t' t' top centerin' rin' and replaced t' shock cord with 20 feet o' braided Keelhaul®©™.  Added some balsa "dams" t' t' motor mount which allowed me t' pot t' TTW fin tabs in epoxy where they attached t' t' motor mount.  Currently usin' a kevlar heat shield and a 30 inch Spherachute for recovery.  Rocket was initially flown "nekkid", but final colors will be pink with a purple nosecone and "Der Pink Max" decals from Stickershock.

Yeeeee-Haw!  Awesome flight, me bucko, ripped off t' rail and straight up into t' sky.  Lost it for a while against t' high clouds, ya bilge rat, but finally picked up t' trackin' smoke and saw t' ejection charge go off more or less at apogee.  T' assembled crowd managed t' keep it in sight as it descended and t' Jolly Logic Chute Release did it's thin' at 500 feet.  Landed on t' sod a couple hundred yards away from t' flight line with no damage.  Awesome flight, might actually be a little too aggressive o' a motor for this rocket.  It just got up and was out o' sight.  We'll see, I've got one more in t' motor box
