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 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.
