Flight Log - 2007-09-09 - Steve Lindeman's Ram Jam

I had this 36"x2" shipping tube lying around and had been toying with both Bomarc and J-Hawk designs when I ran across some adding machine rolls and thought 'I need a rocket to put these on'. The end result was "Ram Jam" a marrige between the two designs.

Flight Date: 2007-09-09
Rocket Name: Ram Jam
Flyer's Name: Steve Lindeman
Motors: E9-4
Wind Speed: 8.00 mph
Launch Site: JMRC-M.I.S.

Good boost off pad but had a problem with chute ejection. Chute hung up in BT and rocket came down hard bending end of BT and breaking NC. After recovery investigation showed that parachute was not packed tight enough to allow it to deploy. Will have to do repair work.
