Flight Log - 2011-10-28 - Jeff Boldig's Dog Whistle DD
3" diameter 38mm Dual Deployment rocket. This is a sport flyer to give me something to fly 38mm motors with. The fins are 3/4" wide at the base, 1/4" wide at the tip. There is a 1/2" wide slot from tip to BT in each fin to make it whistle.
Update: It doesn't whistle so the name has been changed to Dog Whistle. This is Dog Whistle DD because it is the dual deployment version.

New Stratologger altimeter. First flight of rocket and altimeter. It was also beeping out the max speed of 323 MPH. Great first flight.
The nose cone came off at apogee but the chute didn't deploy. Needs a tighter fit or shear pins. Main deployed fine at selected altitude.
