Flight Log - 2011-04-03 - Mike Wurtz's Sumo

Simple short and fat rocket design with four fins and piston ejection. Painted it accordin' t' t' scheme done by aerotech.

Flight Date: 2011-04-03
Rocket Name: Sumo
Kit Name: Aerotech - Sumo {Kit} (07813)
Flyer's Name: Mike Wurtz
Motors: H180
Launch Site: Metra

My first attempt for me level 1 certification. Very quick boost but unfortunately rod whip sent t' rocket flyin' way off t' t' side. Begad! T' charge ejected t' nose cone, chute and piston but t' chute never inflated. Higher winds brought t' rocket in fairly hot and one o' t' fins broke on landing....unsuccesful attempt
