Flight Log - 2015-10-10 - Steve Lindeman's Tinkerbell

Tinkerbell is a scratch built 38.5" long, 2" dia. rocket with a 29mm motor mount. She has a custom 8" nose cone that is a pencil cup holder that I bought on clearance at Wal-Mart for a buck. BT is slotted for TTW fin construction with custom made fairy wings. BT has a custom wrap around finish instead of being painted. I used Open Rocket 15.03 for layout and sims.

Used a 29x24mm adapter and loaded her up with an Estes E9-6. Another beautiful straight up flight with parachute at apogee. Moderate wind drift for recovery. Slight damage to one wing bottom from ground impact. Easily repairable.
