Flight Log - 2014-08-29 - Hans Haase's Hi-Flier

Friction fit, deleted the motor hook and hook retaining band.  Using either a 9" Top Flight thin-mill chute, or 2x20 ripstop streamer.  

Built to try for NARTREK bronze duration on parachute and streamer.

Lost after 2 flights, ejection problems with the friction fit and chute.

Expected Altitude: 1,000.00 Feet

Lost sight of it on ascent, never saw it again.  Probably somewhere in the bean field, no luck in the search.

Likely had another issue with non-deployment of the chute.  

Otherwise the flight was straight as an arrow, no sign of the infamous Hi-Flier instability.  Pop lug again worked flawless.
