Flight Log - 2015-06-24 - Wilfred Ashley McIsaac's Super X Mail Rocket

A variant o' t' Super DX3.  

Flight Date: 2015-06-24
Rocket Name: Super X Mail Rocket
Flyer's Name: Wilfred Ashley McIsaac
Motors: H45-0
Expected Altitude: 2,000 Feet
Wind Speed: 10.00 mph
Launch Site: Gananoque airport
Actual Altitude: 1,400 Feet

When t' Super X Mail Rocket lifted off from t' Gananoque Airport it was carryin' 50 USA & CANADA FRIENDSHIP FLIGHT Mail Covers on board which were secured in a specially designed compartment up inside t' nose cone. Because t' rocket was intentionally nose heavy, matey, t' vehicle arced over t' airport on a parabola flight path that took it across county lines. Blimey!  T' rocket crashed landed in Kingston (Frontenac County) after t' parachute broke away from t' main vehicle immediately followin' booster separation.  T' Super X and its cargo survived.  T' rocket was a slightly modified version o' t' Super DX3 with some o' t' differences bein' an aerodynamic extension attached t' t' aft end o' t' vehicle along with a nosecone that was modified and used as a cargo bay for t' mail and designated 'Mail Bag 1'.  T' electronics bay was underneath.  This was a kit built rocket with me own personal touch.
