Flight Log - 2011-07-06 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Odd'l Rockets Cork Screw

Based on a BT-20 mainframe design from Bruce Levison. Bruce's design won him the October 2003 Fliskits Design of the Month.

I made mine from a BT-5 and lengthened the body quite a bit.  

Flight Date: 2011-07-06
Rocket Name: Odd'l Rockets Cork Screw
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen
Motors: Estes A3-4t
Launch Site: Schoolyard Soccer field
Actual Altitude: 500.00 Feet

It looked great spiraling during boost. At ejection the drift was evident and it landed in some body's back yard. I rarely lose rockets, maybe one out of 100 launches. I'll make another!
