Flight Log - 2015-01-03 - K Sonesen's BAR Crayon 38mm

This is a modified version of the Bay Area Rocketry 38mm kit.  I moved the motor tube 2" aft, added a third centering ring, and an Aeropack retainer.  I also used a kevlar y-bridle, 15' of 9/16" tubular nylon, and a KSR 30H chute. All connections are made with 1/4" quicklinks. I added 5 ounces of ballast to the nosecone so that I can launch on I225 motors and similar.

Magnificent flying weather with almost no breeze at all.  I225FJ actually put the crayon up to an estimated 2500'.  Rocket landed approximately 60' from where I was sitting which made for an extremely short retrieval and it was in the direction of my car.  Gotta love it.
