Flight Log - 2015-02-27 - Matthew Bond's 1.77x Upscale Duster "Slick Willy"

An upscaled Thrustline Duster, using Semroc body tubes and nose cone, 1/8" plywood fins, 38mm motor mount.  Dual deploy using a Perfectflight MAWD, 12" Top Flite drogue chute, and a 36" hemispherical main by Spherachutes.  My level 1 certification rocket.

Yet another nice flight from the Duster, its 35th overall spread out over the last 6 years.  Not too bad for cardboard and plywood.  Nice boost, quick and straight, arcing over at the very top of the climb.  Good drogue at apogee, good main at 500 feet, landed on the field with no damage.  Nice.
