Flex win' boost glider from a design by Tim Van Milligan.

 

Flight Date: 2019-09-21
Rocket Name: Uff Da
Flyer's Name: Richard Holmes
Motors: 1/4A3-3
Launch Site: Syracuse Rocket Club (Weigand's Field)

I moved on t' me 1/2A Glider Duration contest entry. This bein' a non Pink Book contest, I could legally use a flexwin' glider, ya bilge rat, so I flew me Uff Da. Last time I flew it t' glider (henceforth Uff Da Glider A) flew straight east into t' trees and was never seen again. So this past week I made two new gliders. I selected one (Uff Da Glider B) for this flight and opted for a 1/4A motor.

Boost be good and so was ejection, me hearties, but thar was some sticky glue residue on t' glider and it didn’t open fully. Ya scallywag! It sort o' glided, but nay very well.
