Flight Log - 2015-05-23 - 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: 2015-05-23
Rocket Name: Mega Mosquito
Kit Name: Estes - Mega Mosquito {Kit} (001335)
Flyer's Name: Richard Holmes
Motors: E31-6
Launch Site: Geneseo Airport (MARS site)

I decided it was time to inaugurate the 24 mm hardware I bought last August with a CTI E31 reload in my Mega Mosquito. Someone else brought up a MM with a black powder E to keep it company on the rack.The winds had picked up a bit and shifted by then, so altogether this was my longest walk of the day, almost but not quite to the soybeans. In the next low power rack there were three Mega Mosquitos. Well, that’s the Estes holiday sales for you.
