Flight Log - 2007-09-09 - Steve Lindeman's Ram Jam

I had this 36"x2" shippin' tube lyin' around and had been toyin' with both Bomarc and J-Hawk designs when I ran across some addin' machine rolls and thought 'I need a rocket t' put these on'. Arrr! T' end result be "Ram Jam" a marrige betwixt t' two designs.

Good boost off pad but had a problem with chute ejection. Chute hung up in BT and rocket came down hard bendin' end o' BT and breakin' NC. Arrr! After recovery investigation showed that parachute was nay packed tight enough t' allow it t' deploy. Well, blow me down! Will have t' do repair work.
