Flight Log - 2021-10-10 - Wes Munn's Courier

First rocket I built by myself t' develop skills as a rocketeer gettin' into some serious  stuff. My main goal with this build is t' be able t' successfully paint a glossy, white body tube. Aye aye! Blimey! This goal be attained, but I learned that I needed t' go ahead and put t' balsa wood fins on before paintin' t' tube t' avoid scrapin' excess paint from t' places where t' fins need t' be glued. Decals were placed on t' fins and body tube and look superb. Aye aye! Blimey! This rocket be designed t' be a payloader, launchin' a cackle fruit. My goal is t' launch a flight computer recordin' altitude, shiver me timbers, barometric pressure, shiver me timbers, temperature, and a real time clock t' record t' a microSD card conditions o' t' flight. Ahoy! Blimey! This was all developed from an Arduino Nano board.

Successful flight! First time flyin' this with a C6-5 motor. Begad! Did nay load egg into payload. Begad! Obviously, flew higher without t' weight o' a cackle fruit. Begad! I may resort this rocket t' t' testin' o' payloads such as RF locator transmitters, shiver me timbers, and experimental altimeters made from Arduino microcontroller boards.
