Flight Log - 2014-05-17 - Steve Lindeman's The Visitor

T' Visitor was due t' be a released from Semroc in 2010-2011 but unfortunately never made it t' production so I scratch built this one with one slight alteration. Arrr! Love t' design and she flies beautifully.

Flight Date: 2014-05-17
Rocket Name: The Visitor
Flyer's Name: Steve Lindeman
Motors: C6-5
Wind Speed: 7.00 mph
Launch Site: Lyon Township Park - New Hudson, MI

Great boost with rocket goin' straight up but with a slight corkscrew. Parachute ejection be at apogee and rocket started a nice long drift. Ahoy! Got lucky and missed t' power lines across t' road from t' launch area. NC received a 1/2" crescent groove from snap back and thar was a slight paint chip t' top o' BT where it impacted. No other damage. A very long walk back t' launch area.
