Flight Log - 2018-03-24 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Estes Skydart

Reissue of the old Estes Skydart kit. Side intakes are now body tube segments instead of folded card stock.

Flight Date: 2018-03-24
Rocket Name: Estes Skydart
Kit Name: Estes - Sky Dart {Kit} (1257) [1971-1977]
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen
Motors: Estes C6-3
Launch Site: NEFAR - Clegg Sod Farm
Actual Altitude: 300.00 Feet

At 100 feet up it went 45 degrees to the north east. After ejection it stabilized and gave me my best boost glide to date. I would guess it got to 250 feet, the fast wide circular glide lasted about 30 seconds.
