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'. Aye aye! T' end result was "Ram Jam" a marrige betwixt t' two designs.

Rocket Name: Ram Jam
Flyer's Name: Steve Lindeman
Motors: E9-4
Wind Speed: 8.00 mph

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