Flight Log - 2015-09-19 - Richard Holmes's Jupiter C

Plastic model conversion from Glencoe kit. 1/48 scale.

Flight Date: 2015-09-19
Rocket Name: Jupiter C
Flyer's Name: Richard Holmes
Motors: C6-3
Launch Site: Syracuse Rocket Club (Weigand's Field)

It lost its 4th stage / satellite on its first flight last year, and three of the four precariously tacked-on little “pipe” pieces that miraculously survived that flight didn’t survive storage and transport since then; as a result I flew it under the moniker of Jupiter C-Minus on a C6-3.  It too had a rodent-like boost, and it came down fast, the chute having… not quite deployed.
