Flight Log - 2014-05-17 - Steve Lindeman's The Visitor

The Visitor was due to be a released from Semroc in 2010-2011 but unfortunately never made it to production so I scratch built this one with one slight alteration. Love the design and she flies beautifully.

Flight Date: 2014-05-17
Rocket Name: The Visitor
Flyer's Name: Steve Lindeman
Motors: C6-5
Wind Speed: 7.00 mph
Launch Site: Lyon Township Park - New Hudson, MI

Great boost with rocket going straight up but with a slight corkscrew. Parachute ejection was at apogee and rocket started a nice long drift. Got lucky and missed the power lines across the road from the launch area. NC received a 1/2" crescent groove from snap back and there was a slight paint chip to top of BT where it impacted. No other damage. A very long walk back to launch area.
