Flight Log - 2013-05-09 - Steve Lindeman's Jetliner
What a great addition to the Estes mini engine seriers rockets. This little gem resembles a Boing 737 Jetliner and is bound to be a blast to watch on launch day. I have modified mine by replacing the 13mm mount with an 18mm mount.

After two lousy flights on 13mm motors, decided to skip the A8-3 test flight and went for a B6-4. Now this is more like it. The Jetliner left the pad with authority and took to the blue sky topping out at about 200' or so. Parachute was a little late. May have to try a B4-4 or maybe even a B6-2 to see if they are any better as well as going back and trying an A8-3. The C6-5 will have to wait till I get to a larger field.
