Flight Log - 2012-03-17 - Mark Rose's Performance Rocketry Competitor 3
Used Aeropack Tailcone motor retainer and SCR airfoiled rail guides--compliment the sleek lines nicely while not hurting Aero one bit. Perfectflite Stratologger altimeter with a Featherweight Altimeters screw switch and small Blastcaps on each av-bay end. Added 16oz weight to the nose, and shouldn't have--it didn't need it.

Another flight that beat the Rocksim simulation by a large margin--have had to crank the Cd in RS9 down to 0.40 to get the simulations inline with how it's flying. I attribute this to airfoiled fins, airfoiled rail guides (SCR), and the Aeropack tailcone motor retainer. Solid, quick boost right out of sight--didn't see it again until the main came out almost a mile away.
