Flight Log - 2019-11-09 - Ty Bliss's Astron Explorer

A more technical build than many Estes kits.  Ejection charge gas is routed through three auxiliary body tubes.  The main lower body tube houses the motor while the main upper body tube houses the recovery system.  The kit comes with alignment jig cardstock that helps ensure proper body tube alignment during construction.    

D and E motor powered. you get straight and true flights on a 3/16" rod that's at least 35" long.
