Flight Log - 2015-03-15 - Ken E. Coyote's Mr. Wiggles! (Scratch Build)

Scratch build cup rocket using Monsters University Art cup.  I lost the last one after I sent it away on an E9, but boy was that a great flight!  I've rebuilt, but this one has hair added for extra fun!  I've also built this one to be fairly water-resistant for something of an "SUV" rocket.

Flight Date: 2015-03-15
Rocket Name: Mr. Wiggles! (Scratch Build)
Flyer's Name: Ken E. Coyote
Motors: C11-3
Expected Altitude: 400.00 Feet
Wind Speed: 10.00 mph
Actual Altitude: 80.00 Feet

First flight test of "Hairy Art" cup rocket. Used a C11-3, figuring it would be good; however it wasn't enough since I had underestimated the weight of the added hair and epoxy (which was used to keep the hair/fur on). Rocket left the rod and arced over at about 80', then ejection with a loud pop about 50' agl. All recovered fine.  Of note is that rod was still slightly bent from the last mishap...have straightened.
