Flight Log - 2010-06-19 - Steve Lindeman's Disco-Tron

This is a converted Screamin' Mimi that I added lights to for club night launch. I flew this rocket a number of times in the origanal configuration but never herd it scream so thought maybe I could hear it better at night. At least it looks cool even if it dosen't sound cool.

My second attemp at launching this rocket. Even with bigger engine (maiden flight was on D12-5), this rocket is still to heavy. Not a lot of altitude and parachute malfunctioned. Broke the ball again upon impact but it did look cool taking off. Generateed a lot lot of Oooohs! and Aaaahs! in spite of crash. Will try an F27-4R 24mm Aerotech composit on next flight.
