Flight Log - 2015-08-08 - Steve Lindeman's Rock-it

T' finish is what sets t' Estes "Rock-it" apart from t' rest o' their kits. Begad! When finished properly, this one looks as if it was made o' stone. But don't let that addlepate you. Ya scallywag! This is one great flyer and it always gets a bunch o' remarks at launches due t' its goofiness. A must have for any serious rocketeer.

Flight #2 for this rocket. Ya scallywag! Hasn't flown since '08. Good straight flight with good altitude. Aye aye! Parachute be ejected at apogee and decent be good. Found one fin cracked at root edge on recovery due t' a hard landin' on gravel road but a little super glue will fix that. Also have a 1/2" paint chip at top o' BT that needs touch up otherwise OK.
