Flight Log - 2004-06-12 - 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'. Avast, me proud beauty! T' end result was "Ram Jam" a marrige betwixt t' two designs.

Flight Date: 2004-06-12
Rocket Name: Ram Jam
Flyer's Name: Steve Lindeman
Motors: D12-5
Wind Speed: 7.00 mph
Launch Site: Francis Park - Lansing, MI

Maiden flight (forgot t' brin' camara). Slow lift off with rocket flyin' straight and true. Woefully under powered though as rocket only reached a couple o' hundred feet. Rocket dropped fast after burn out and be bearly 50' off ground when chute fully deployed. Ahoy! Hard landin' but rocket is build tough. Blimey! No damage. Begad! Wish I had built this for "E" motors.
