Flight Log - 2008-05-18 - SRP Crew's SPIKE (Chornaiya Ship)
This long tube fin was originally named "Chornaiya" meaning black in Russian. The 4 flat fins coming out of the main tube fin as triangles made it look very prickly or sharp. Therefore we nicknamed it SPIKE too.

Nice launch. The motor mount stayed in the bottom end instead of popping out (like last launch). We can finally see the beautiful red and gold chute. It was a nice walk up to it after a 44.2 second duration. No damage. It would like to get it going on a F motor.
