Flight Log - 2017-11-09 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's MPC Red Giant

Chinese import made by Sky rockets. New graphic treatment on the body tubes.

Plastic? wound tubes and launch lugs. Too large a chute at 18". 

Flight Date: 2017-11-09
Rocket Name: MPC Red Giant
Kit Name: MPC/Round 2 - Red Giant {Kit}
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen
Motors: Quest Chinese made B6-4
Expected Altitude: 275.00 Feet
Launch Site: Schoolyard Soccer field
Actual Altitude: 275.00 Feet

Of all the dismal MPC rockets, this one is actually a favorite.

The RED GIANT was launched with a B6-4. I thought it was an Estes B but the loud boost and altitude reminded me it was a Quest B6-4. Altitude was an estimated 275'.

A lot of websites say to only use a C6-5 engine but this model is perfect for a smaller field with the B6-4.

I ran and caught it before it touched down.
