Flight Log - 2017-06-26 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Odd'l X-15 Goony

A short X-15 using the Quest decals and fin stock.

A custom canopy was carved and vacuum formed.

Flight Date: 2017-06-26
Rocket Name: Odd'l X-15 Goony
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen
Motors: Estes A8-3
Expected Altitude: 100.00 Feet
Launch Site: Schoolyard Soccer field
Actual Altitude: 100.00 Feet

Stable with an A8-3, but way under powered. Altitude was only about 100 feet.

Maybe I don't need that 1/2 oz. of clay in the nose cone.

Full Odd'l chute deploy and no damage.
