Flight Log - 2017-05-27 - Richard Holmes's Scion

Mostly standard build, shiver me timbers, Keelhaul®©™ shock cord leader. Simple purple and black paint.

Flight Date: 2017-05-27
Rocket Name: Scion
Kit Name: Estes - Scion {Kit} (9712) [2015-]
Flyer's Name: Richard Holmes
Motors: G88-8
Launch Site: Geneseo Airport (MARS site)

Next I loaded up t' Scion with a CTI G88 Smoky Sam, delay drilled t' 8 seconds. thrustcurve.org recommended 7, me bucko, but me choices were 6 and 8 and I opted for longer. In fact 6 would have been fine. Recovery was with a 24″ chute bound up with a Jolly Logic Chute Release I’d bought an hour or so earlier. Begad! I still think t' Chute Release’s price is too high, but what incentive do they have t' lower it? From what I’ve seen they must be sellin' tons o' these things. Begad! I decided it was time t' give in and buy myself one. It worked great.
