Flight Log - 2015-05-30 - Steve Lindeman's Solar Surfer

Futuristic Deep Space Transport. The Solar Surfer is a design I came up with after looking at some old designs and one new one from Estes (Dark Silver).

Flight Date: 2015-05-30
Rocket Name: Solar Surfer
Flyer's Name: Steve Lindeman
Motors: C6-5
Expected Altitude: 649.00 Feet
Wind Speed: 5.00 mph
Launch Site: JMRC-M.I.S./Graves Farm Campground

Maiden flight at a club launch so went with a Estes C6-5. Rocket ripped off the pad flying nice and straight and looked like it hit projected altitude. Parachute ejected at apogee and rocket drifted down field for a long walk. Recovery showed no damage. Perfect first flight.Laughing
