Flight Log - 2014-07-19 - Richard Holmes's Condor

I didn't like the preprinted body tube so I covered it with paper and painted it black. Standard kit otherwise.

Flight Date: 2014-07-19
Rocket Name: Condor
Kit Name: Sky - Condor Boost Glider {Kit}
Flyer's Name: Richard Holmes
Motors: B6-4
Launch Site: Syracuse Rocket Club (Weigand's Field)

Today it glided well in circles. Nice flight. But I found a ding out of one side of the horizontal stabilizer on recovery. Maybe that's why it circled? There was also an issue with the booster: the motor hook was shoved forward into the body tube. If I were building it today, I’d put a thrust ring in.
