Flight Log - 2012-08-12 - Steve Lindeman's Goonydent

Built from plans by Excelsiorrocketry.com usein' 2 Baby Bertha kits, 3 18" BT-5 tubes and 6 BNC-5 cones plus one extra BNC-60 cone t' be used on t' lower section t' protect against ejection gases. Well, blow me down! Total investment: approx. $45.00 makin' it a very expensive kit bash but worth it for t' looks I get at t' field. Ya scallywag! Always a head turner.

Good lift-off with ejection at apogee. Parachute didn't open. Got tangled with NC & shock cord. Came down parallel with ground & cracked t' fin seams on t' two fins that hit t' ground first. Begad! Rocket will be repaired.
