Flight Log - 2012-03-11 - Cameron Talley's Estes Farside

This is the other rocket that came in the Estes starter set that I got.

Flight Date: 2012-03-11
Rocket Name: Estes Farside
Kit Name: Estes - Farside {Kit} (12) [1963-1980]
Flyer's Name: Cameron Talley
Motors: A8-3
Expected Altitude: 200 Feet
Wind Speed: 10.00 mph
Launch Site: Floyd Casey Grass Lot

First flight of the Farside rocket.  Used 20 year old Recovery wadding.  Not sure how many squares.  Nice lift-off the pad.  Weather-cocked slight into the wind.  Reached perhaps 180 feet.  Perfect ejection slightly past Apogee.  Rocket returned maybe 50 feet from the pad.  

The motor mount was a very tight fit and will need to be sanded for future use.
