Flight Log - 2010-05-08 - Matthew Bond's 2.70x Upscale Super Neon "Sooper Neon"

2.63" Upscale of the Estes Super Neon.  38mm Motor Mount, Dual Deploy with Pefrectflite MAWD Altimeter.

Flight Date: 2010-05-08
Rocket Name: 2.70x Upscale Super Neon "Sooper Neon"
Flyer's Name: Matthew Bond
Motors: I211-ALTIM
Launch Site: MC2
Actual Altitude: 2,411.00 Feet

Great boost, straight and fast on an AT White Lightning motor. Good drogue at apogee, good main deployment at 500 feet. Long walk, grass landing no damage. Finally got the deployment bugs woked out of this one.  Time for another L2 attempt!  I reworked my simulator settins after the first two flights.  This design has a ridiculous amount of drag.  I ended up using a drag coefficient of 1.45 in RockSim to get results which match up to actual flight performance.
