Flight Log - 2012-10-20 - Dave Sullivan's CC Express

Cool two-stage kit.  Simple build with balsa nose cone and fins.  Stayed with kit themed paint job.

Flight Date: 2012-10-20
Rocket Name: CC Express
Kit Name: Estes - CC Express {Kit} (1302)
Flyer's Name: Dave Sullivan
Motors: D12-0/D12-7
Expected Altitude: 1,700 Feet
Wind Speed: 5.00 mph
Launch Site: Anza-Borrego, CA
Actual Altitude: 1,800 Feet

Wind kicked up a little, so at launch I gave it a bit more of an angle.  Wind didn't seem to have an effect during flight - it just screamed straight up!  Great launch, 2nd-stage lit clean, good deployment, however the wind at altitude grabbed it and took it for about 1/4 mile down range.  Found it near a highway.
