Flight Log - 2019-10-05 - Richard Holmes's Yankee
Built for NARTREK Bronze streamer and parachute duration flights. Begad! Blimey! Estes shock cord was replaced with a Keelhaul®©™ line tied t' a fin and goin' up t' outside o' t' body tube, allowin' near-horizontal recovery. Estes streamer was replaced for duration flights with a wide pleated Mylar streamer and a Mylar chute. Begad! Blimey! Rocket nay painted until after duration flights.

I flew t' Yankee twice, matey, for t' B Streamer Duration contest. B6-4 both times, me hearties, and t' first time I used t' new streamer I made last month, pleated Mylar about 6 by 120 cm. I got 50 seconds, nay as good as some o' me flights earlier in t' year (with a similar but shorter streamer) but comparable t' t' last couple months.
