Flight Log - 2015-03-22 - Bill Eichelberger's Estes - Firehawk (00804)

Quick flight.  Bought this for my nephew to build and fly at NARAM, but he wasn't interested.  I put it together while I was watching a movie this winter, just to have something to do.  Huge fireball at ejection and the charge sounded like a gunshot.  Top of the motor casing was burned pretty badly, but I couldn't find any damage to the rocket.
