Flight Log - 1993-06-16 - Rick Barnes's Terrier Sandhawk

Estes Pro Terrier/Sandhawk kit from the early '90s.  Nice kit, looks fantastic.  The scale antennae are fragile, but it otherwise flies and recovers well.  Definite attention getter.

Flight Date: 1993-06-16
Rocket Name: Terrier Sandhawk
Kit Name: Estes - Terrier/Sandhawk {Kit} (2083) [1993-1996]
Flyer's Name: Rick Barnes
Motors: D12-5
Launch Site: Parent's yard

Flight of just the Sandhawk rocket (nice that Estes made it detachable from the Terrier booster) on a D12-5.  Much faster take off than with the full rocket (obviously), and much higher altitude at apogee.  Took a while to come back down on a 24" chute (sized for the combined rocket), but still popped a fin off.
