Flight Date: 2012-11-04
Rocket Name: Hi-Flier
Kit Name: Estes - Hi-Flier {Kit} (2178) [2003-]
Flyer's Name: Christopher Ebert
Motors: C6-5
Launch Site: Field on Shackleburg

Successfully located and rescued this rocket from a tree this morning, so I figured it was time to fly again, on something a bit bigger.

Slight weathercocking on take-off, otherwise smooth and stable ascent, successful deployment, but came down quite far away, and both my spotter and I lost track of it.  Drove around for a while, but with basically no idea where exactly it came down, gave up the search pretty quick.  

I might pick up another one sometime, but I really do prefer the larger rockets, especially since they are easier to see.
