Flight Log - 2017-08-19 - Richard Holmes's Micro Fat Boy

MMX 5x downscale of Estes Fat Boy, bashed from Mosquito kit. Decals by Sandman.

Flight Date: 2017-08-19
Rocket Name: Micro Fat Boy
Flyer's Name: Richard Holmes
Motors: 1/8A
Launch Site: Syracuse Rocket Club (Weigand's Field)

In honor of James Shattell's Level 3 attempt with the Extremely Fat Boy (one of those not paying off efforts) I led off with the Micro Fat Boy on its first flight. James's was the largest rocket ever flown on our field; mine, probably, was the smallest. I asked for lots of eyes on this MMX model, the grass being what it was. Turns out I did see it land but that was about all I saw of the flight. The orange streamer crammed inside the nose cone helped visibility both on the descent and on the ground.
