Flight Log - 2024-10-27 - Bill Eichelberger's LOC/Precision - Big Nuke Mini

An odd little rocket. Mid-power LOC/Precision apparently made an attempt at getting into the low-power field.  They followed the Estes lead of too little shock cord and paired it with some really odd sticker decals. The laser cut balsa is nice, and the body tube is sturdier than normal, but the feeling on the whole is one of half-assery.

Quick off the pad and out over deep center before I knew it. Ejection charge was LOUD, and it immediately became obvious that a separation had occurred. Both pieces landed within 20' of each other.

Actual Altitude: 351 Feet
