2012-02-01 Dean Booth's Custom Rockets Razor

Flight Date:2012-02-01
Rocket Name:Dean Booth's Custom Rockets Razor
Kit:Custom Rockets - Razor
Flyer:Dean Booth
Motors:Quest C6-5
Wind Speed:3 mph
Launch Site:Ben Davis Park

Almost a disastrous flight.  Razor went almost horizontal shortly after leaving the pad - probably didn't get a couple hundred feet of altitude.  I managed to track it until the streamer ejected near the ground probably 1000 feet away.  Recovered with no damage just shy of a busy street.  The concensus cause on TRF seems to be the the curved motor hook vectored the motor thrust to the side.  I'll need to trim that hook before flying again.
