Flight Log - 2014-09-20 - Richard Holmes's Patriot [RETIRED]

Built from kit won at last year's glider competition. Avast! Blimey! Modified slightly by substitutin' single piece body tube for 3-piece. Some reviewers have said t' supplied parachute is too small but I thought it was fine; I would nay want a much slower descent.

Rocket Name: Patriot [RETIRED]
Kit Name: Estes - Patriot M104 {Kit} (2056) [2004-2010]

You can see it weathercockin' into t' wind from t' right. Blimey! Parachute recovery, but only 12" and reefed. Begad! Another good flight.
