| Flyer's Name: | Rick Dickinson |
| Motors: | I300-6 |
Good, straight boost until just after burnout, when fin flutter broke 2 of the Lexan fins. Tumbled end over end, ejected just past apogee. Should have flown on White Lightning reload instead of Blue Thunder. A lower top speed might have saved the fins.
