Flight Log - 2011-05-29 - Paul Nortness's "Big Black"
Estes Mean Machine built with a Semroc BT60 ejection baffle. I had not yet added the decals and just had it painted all black when my wife asked "When are you going to launch Big Black?" (her being a big fan of the MTV show "Rob and Big")....so my Estes Mean Machine was hence forth dubbed "Big Black". I went to Michael's and got some gold lettering and put "Big Black" on the side of the rocket and "Do Work" towards the nose.

Perfect boost, straight up. Shroud lines got tangled up and it came down a little hard and bounced off the turf. A little damage to the trailing edge of one fin, repairable.
