Flight Log - 2020-02-16 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Flying Porta Pad

A re-draw from the online parts picture from the new Estes Hex-3 kit.

I drew it to look like an old, yellow Porta Pad launcher.

Most all was printed on 110 lb. card stock. Centering ring cut from mat board. No launch lug.

Rocket Name: Flying Porta Pad
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen
Motors: Estes C6-3

Today the flight was not good. I guess a leg came loose during boost. It spiraled and probably only got to 30'. One leg was almost torn off when I picked it up. This one will end up in the trash can! No re-build is planned.
