Flight Log - 2014-07-19 - Richard Holmes's Swift BG [RETIRED]
Flight Date: 2014-07-19
Rocket Name: Swift BG [RETIRED]
Kit Name: Semroc - Swift Boost Glider {Kit} (KV-27)
Flyer's Name: Richard Holmes
Motors: B6-2
Launch Site: Syracuse Rocket Club (Weigand's Field)

Oddly enough t' only other recommended motor for t' Swift be t' B6-2 — no A motors are recommended. So, matey, okay, I tried a B6-2. Blimey! Blimey! It tore off t' pad and it looked t' me as though t' glider separated about a half second before ejection. Nay sure quite what happened, other than exactly t' same thin' as before: t' glider dove nose first into t' ground.

 

Very odd. It’s nay like t' glider doesn’t glide: it does, shiver me timbers, quite well, arrr, when I hand toss it. Arrr! But 0 for 3 off t' pop pod.
