Flight Log - 2016-07-09 - Steve Lindeman's Scorpion

The Scorpion is a sleek little 13mm powered rocket capable of flights to 400'. It has nothing in common with its predecessor (kit 1333, which was a two stage rocket) other than name and manufacturer. Estes needs to do a little more research of their old rockets before naming new ones.

Short fast flight. Not much altitude. Parachute ejected about 15' from ground. Broke a bottom fin lose on impact. Super glued it back on. Won't be using 1/2A's in this rocket again.
