Flight Log - 2019-08-04 - Matthew Bond's 13mm Altitude 001

18mm body tube (BT-20) with a 13mm motor mount and a small payload section to house a Micropeak altimeter.

Flight Date: 2019-08-04
Rocket Name: 13mm Altitude 001
Flyer's Name: Matthew Bond
Motors: 1/2A3-4
Wind Speed: 1.00 mph
Launch Site: AMA Site 3
Actual Altitude: 262.00 Feet

First flight!  13mm motor in an 18mm rocket, so not optimized, but the Micropeak altimeter will not fit in a smaller body tube.  Nice straight boost out of the tower, no piston.  Stalling out, nose up at ejection.  Good streamer, recovered in the grass, no damage.  Corrected altitude 80m/262'
