Flight Log - 2017-11-26 - Matthew Bond's Estes Super Alpha
A plus sized version of the venerable Alpha, built around a BT-60 body tube.
This rocket was one of three that I constructed in a hotel in Tucson, AZ while on a business trip and was flown at the annual 2 day Desert Heat launch put on by the Southern Arizona Rocketry Association.

Finally got this bird back in the air after it waited 2 1/2 years for a paint job. Nice smooth boost, arcing into the wind. Shock cord tangled up on ejection, but the chute inflated normally and the rocket landed on the field with no damage.
