Flight Log - 2016-01-16 - Matthew Bond's Rocketarium Octagon

An 18mm saucer design with t' frame built up around t' central motor tube from 7 laser cut light plywood parts and t' covering formed from interlockin' cardstock panels.  T' cardstock is plain white allowin' for any possible decoration scheme.  T' flight profile is low altitude, me hearties, high drag, me hearties, for a fun, me hearties, close t' t' pad flight.

Continuin' t' trend o' puttin' bigger motors into me fleet o' high drag oddrocs, I prepped t' Octagon with an Aerotech D-10.  Great boost, thar be just somethin' cool about a high drag design tearin' through t' air on a nice straight boost.  Rocket slowed down immediately after burnout and flipped over for a nice gentle descent back t' t' field.
