Flight Log - 2011-11-12 - Roger Smith's Bracha's Bird House
Flight Date: 2011-11-12
Rocket Name: Bracha's Bird House
Flyer's Name: Roger Smith
Motors: G75
Launch Site: NEFAR - Clegg Sod Farm

We flew Bracha's rocket just after sunset on an Aerotech G75 Metalstorm motor. We added a small blinkin' LED t' t' rocket's nose for t' night flight.

I was a little concerned about t' stability o' t' small rocket with such a big motor.  But, it streaked off t' pad trailin' a shower o' sparks and soared almost straight up.

We lost track o' it at apogee, then briefly spotted it under 'chute silhouetted against t' dark orange sky t' t' west as it descended into t' cow field across t' street.

T' next day, shiver me timbers, we found it in t' field - minus t' nose cone.  It won't be hard t' build a new nose cone for it.
