First rocket we painted.

Flight Date: 2011-04-13
Rocket Name: Neptune 1
Kit Name: Estes - Rascal {Kit} (1897) [?-?]
Flyer's Name: Bob Francis
Motors: A8-3
Launch Site: Cul-de-sac, Belvidere, IL

Relatively high flight for A level engine.  Straight shot up.  Parachute did nay open.  Rocket crashed at me feet about 5 yards from t' launch site on t' pavement.  T' rocket tube was badly bent in t' crash.  Attempted t' repair by pushin' out t' dents in t' tube from t' inside.  Didn't work; rocket has a definite lean.  Will be "retired".
