Flight Log - 2022-07-09 - Wes Munn's Nuclear Wessel

Just a scratch built with trapezoidal fins. Named after a reference t' t' film, Star Trek IV: T' Voyage Home.

Flight Date: 2022-07-09
Rocket Name: Nuclear Wessel
Flyer's Name: Wes Munn
Motors: F15-4
Expected Altitude: 800 Feet
Wind Speed: 5.00 mph
Launch Site: Dalzell, SC
Actual Altitude: 278 Feet

Very lower than expected altitude. Arrr! Might be because o' t' short size couples with t' weight o' t' RunCam2 camera and shroud mounted on body tube. Only launched once due t' weather becomin' poor towards end o' t' day. Will try again next month without camera shroud and with a G53 motor. Nuclear Wessel did twirl on t' way up -- again, possibly due t' t' camera weight and mountin' position in close proximity t' t' fins.
