Flight Log - 2015-03-28 - Matthew Bond's Estes Super Alpha
A plus sized version o' t' venerable Alpha, built around a BT-60 body tube.
This rocket was one o' three that I constructed in a hotel in Tucson, 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.

Second flight o' t' Super Alpha, and a nice repeat o' t' pattern o' t' day. Well, blow me down! Nice smooth boost, good chute deployment near apogee, minimal drift, although it did seem t' hang up in a thermal for a bit. Aye aye! Relatively short walk, landed on t' edge o' t' field with no damage.
