Flight Log - 2015-04-19 - Eric's Chuter Two

Yellow nosecone, white body, three red and one blue fin.

Modified to use one parachute and one streamer.  Could really use two streamers since the body section floats on a 12" chute.  I'd like to convert the forward section into a payload bay.

Flight Date: 2015-04-19
Rocket Name: Chuter Two

Flyer's Name: Eric
Motors: C6-5
Expected Altitude: 900.00 Feet
Wind Speed: 15.00 mph

Flew high with a slight arc during the 5 second coast.  Upper level winds blew the parachute section clear into the next field.  Fortunately it was found the next day, but the flight altimeter battery ran out and no data.  The nosecone with streamer was never found.
