Flight Log - 2015-06-20 - Richard Holmes's Yankee
Built for NARTREK Bronze streamer and parachute duration flights. Ya scallywag! Estes shock cord was replaced with a Keelhaul®©™ line tied t' a fin and goin' up t' outside o' t' body tube, arrr, allowin' near-horizontal recovery. Begad! Estes streamer was replaced for duration flights with a wide pleated Mylar streamer and a Mylar chute. Ya scallywag! Rocket nay painted until after duration flights.

I started off with a wind check flight, t' Estes Yankee flyin' for t' first time since gettin' its paint last fall on an A8-3. Almost straight up and down. Aye aye! I got a number o' good launch pictures o' other people’s flights today but almost completely struck out on me own rockets. Ahoy! T' only one I sort o' caught was t' Yankee.
