Flight Log - 2013-05-09 - Steve Lindeman's Jetliner

What a great addition t' t' Estes mini engine seriers rockets. Arrr! This little gem resembles a Boin' 737 Jetliner and is bound t' be a blast t' watch on launch day. I have modified mine by replacin' t' 13mm mount with an 18mm mount.

Flight Date: 2013-05-09
Rocket Name: Jetliner
Kit Name: Estes - Jetliner {Kit} (003230)
Flyer's Name: Steve Lindeman
Motors: B6-4
Wind Speed: 4.00 mph
Launch Site: Francis Park - Lansing, MI

After two lousy flights on 13mm motors, shiver me timbers, decided t' skip t' A8-3 test flight and went for a B6-4. Blimey! Now this is more like it. T' Jetliner left t' pad with authority and took t' t' blue sky toppin' out at about 200' or so. Avast, me proud beauty! Parachute was a little late. May have t' try a B4-4 or maybe even a B6-2 t' see if they are any better as well as goin' back and tryin' an A8-3. T' C6-5 will have t' wait till I get t' a larger field.
