Flight Log - 2012-05-26 - Steve Lindeman's Wacky Wiggler

Wacky Wiggler launches like a standard rocket, but comes down in a whole new way. The prismatic body sections seperate and the entire rocket "wiggles" its way back to earth. This wacky rocket can fly over 1000'.

Flight Date: 2012-05-26
Rocket Name: Wacky Wiggler
Kit Name: Estes - Wacky Wiggler {Kit} (2182)
Flyer's Name: Steve Lindeman
Motors: B6-4
Launch Site: Francis Park - Lansing, MI

1st flight after replacing original cord with Kevlar. Nice fast lift-off with rocket going straight up. Ejection charge was shortly after apogee and rocket breaking apart as designed. The kids loved watching it snake its way back down for a soft landing in the grass with no damage although I did notice that two of the sections didn't separate. Great flight none the less.
