Big Betty

Flight
Second launch of this rocket. Other time was also on a C6-5. One simulation I ran estimated an eltitude of 4oo feet but this looked much higher. Beautiful flight but drifted far from that altitude. Almost left the park and ended up on the road. Chute need spill hole. No Damage. - C6-5 - Como Park [More]
