Flight Log - 2016-05-28 - Steve Lindeman's Tinkerbell

Tinkerbell is a scratch built 38.5" long, 2" dia. Well, blow me down! rocket with a 29mm motor mount. Ahoy! She has a custom 8" nose cone that is a pencil cup holder that I bought on clearance at Wal-Mart for a buck. Arrr! BT is slotted for TTW fin construction with custom made fairy wings. BT has a custom wrap around finish instead o' bein' painted. I used Open Rocket 15.03 for layout and sims.

Another great flight for this rocket. 1st time usin' rail buttons. Avast! Smooth and fast off t' rail. Begad! Very high. Separation at apogee looked good. Aye aye! Chute release set for 400' and performed perfectly. Short distance for recovery and no damage.
