Flight Log - 2014-05-24 - Richard Holmes's Mega Mosquito

Built stock except that shock cord is 1/2" braided elastic with a replaceable Kevlar leader secured to the motor mount, and an Estes 24mm retainer was used instead of a hook. Because I have plenty of yellow in my fleet already I painted this one orange and black (Rustoleum 2X).

Flight Date: 2014-05-24
Rocket Name: Mega Mosquito
Kit Name: Estes - Mega Mosquito {Kit} (001335)
Flyer's Name: Richard Holmes
Motors: D12-3
Launch Site: Geneseo Airport (MARS site)

Got a nice compliment on the finish at the safety check, which surprised me a bit but we’re all our own worst critics, right? Nice flight and fine recovery, aside from the fact that it landed in the middle of the parking area! My first 24 mm flight in quite a while (only previous ones were the Eggscaliber at our first club launch in 2012). That’s one of my NARTREK Bronze requirements out of the way.
