Flight Log - 2016-06-18 - Richard Holmes's Bad Cholesterol

Dual egglofter. Ya scallywag! Built for an informal duration contest, arrr, nay that t' design or construction made any concessions t' duration other than bein' wide enough for a big parachute; didn't matter, anyway, because t' contest got rained out. Blimey! 24mm motor mount. Finish is Rustoleum 2X gloss white and black.

Then I did fly t' Bad Cholestoerol on a C11-3. This was a hitherto unflown configuration, with t' smaller egg capsule's center section omitted t' fly a single egg for t' C egglofter duration contest. Begad! Roger had already gotten a great 1:04 time on a lightweight rocket with a wide Mylar chute that caught a thermal. Ya scallywag! Whereas I left me big Mylar chute at home out o' forgetfulness, so stuffed in two TopFlight chutes, 18" and 15", me bucko, for an I'm-just-looking-for-participation-points entry. Got a big big 19 seconds. Flight be good though.
