Flight Log - 2023-01-07 - Wes Munn's Bumble Bee

New scratch Build. Begad! Flew in January, arrr, but due t' havin' only a single launch lug, left t' low power pad unstable. Avast, me proud beauty! Today it flew twice very stable.

Flight Date: 2023-01-07
Rocket Name: Bumble Bee
Flyer's Name: Wes Munn
Motors: A8-3
Launch Site: Dalzell, SC

Launched, me bucko, then arced steeply almost 90 degrees then straight into t' ground and deployed parachute on t' grass. Arrr! Based on photos, looks like it needed a second launch lug towards bottom o' rocket t' add more stability comin' off t' launch rod durin' ignition. Blimey! This was subsequently corrected for future flights.
