Flight Log - 2022-07-09 - Wes Munn's Cheetah Cub

Scratch build for my son with ring fin.

Flight Date: 2022-07-09
Rocket Name: Cheetah Cub
Flyer's Name: Wes Munn
Motors: D12-5
Expected Altitude: 800.00 Feet
Wind Speed: 5.00 mph
Launch Site: Dalzell, SC
Actual Altitude: 466.00 Feet

First flight was successful! Flew straight and true and stable. Low and slow. Lower altitude than simulated with D12-5. I may need to adjust weight in simulations to get closer results or adjust for real wind speed to see how this affects altitude. Otherwise, it was a pleasing flight and lots of adults and kids commended how stable and how beautiful my son's rocket was.
