Flight Log - 2014-03-09 - Ken E. Coyote's Odd'l Break Away

Built as per instructions; however paint was just a bit different since my daughter noted that the rainbow had green before blue. :)

Flight Date: 2014-03-09
Rocket Name: Odd'l Break Away
Kit Name: Odd'l Rockets - Break Away {Kit}
Flyer's Name: Ken E. Coyote
Motors: Estes A8-3
Expected Altitude: 250.00 Feet
Wind Speed: 5.00 mph

Rocket seemed a bit "wobbly" on the launch pad; however flight was straight up and rocket "break away" was good.  Came down about 15' from launch pad and it was actually a bit faster coming down than I expected and just missed catching it (hit me on the back...I was on ice).  Minor scuffs:  Rocket had a balsa nose cone dent from hitting the fin, one fin had a small dent, multiple tubes had some paint chip (maybe should try lexan paint if I do this again) and one connector came unglued.  Crowd loved it though.
