Flight Log - 2011-05-01 - Jeffrey Gortatowsky's Big 70

My own design. Designed to be impressive in size and flight, makes great demonstration flights. 24mm Motors. Built with BMS balsa parts.

Flight Date: 2011-05-01
Rocket Name: Big 70
Flyer's Name: Jeffrey Gortatowsky
Motors: C11-3
Wind Speed: 2.00 mph
Launch Site: Santa Fe Dam Rec Area, CA

In this restricted area I was sure I could get a good flight and did! Always an impressive rocket. Forgot to put the DAMN altimeter in it! Grrr... Only dicey think is I still used a 24 chute as the rocket is still heavy. At deployment the payload bay snapped back and took off a fin. Easy to repair.
