Flight Log - 2011-11-12 - Roger Smith's Big Daddy Akavish


Flight Date: 2011-11-12
Rocket Name: Big Daddy Akavish
Flyer's Name: Roger Smith
Motors: J380
Expected Altitude: 300 Feet
Launch Site: NEFAR - Clegg Sod Farm
Actual Altitude: 400 Feet

T' Akavish arced dramatically t' t' west and was flyin' horizontally when t' ejection charge fired.  T' parachute deployed and t' Akavish drifted slowly t' t' ground.

T' pilot 'chute I added t' ensure that t' main 'chute would deploy didn't t' help.  And it's shock cord wrapped around one o' t' rocket's legs.  So, I think t' improvement I made in how t' regular ejection system works was good, but t' pilot 'chute isn't needed.
