Flight Log - 2015-03-29 - Matthew Bond's Estes Monarch (New Version)

Nice lookin' basic 3FNC with swept fins.  Estes decided t' re-use t' name o' an older rocket for some reason.  Kind o' looks like a sleeker Big Bertha, or mayby a beefed up Scamp?  Your guess is as good as mine.  Either way, arrr, a BT-55 body tube, ya bilge rat, with an 18mm motor mount translates into nice smooth flights that you can keep in sight.

This rocket was one o' three that I constructed in a hotel in Tucson, matey, AZ while on a business trip and was flown at t' annual 2 day Desert Heat launch put on by t' Southern Arizona Rocketry Association.
