Flight Log - 2013-03-08 - Randy Ogata's Estes, Skytraxx
Flight Date: 2013-03-08
Rocket Name: Estes, Skytraxx
Flyer's Name: Randy Ogata
Motors: C6
Launch Site: Homestead Park
Actual Altitude: 700 Feet

Qwest Wadding, LEGO Policeman, Incomplete ejection. Weight of nose cone/payload section pulled parachute out for deployment

There was still wadding in the body of the tube after recovery

Qwest wadding is stiffer then the Estes "tissue paper" type. Will have to cut up in the future or consider using "dog barf" type cellulose insulation

Plus side is that no parachutes have been melted while using Qwest wadding

Great RTF performer for the boys - as it can carry LEGO miwearily in its payload section

Only veteran rocket launched today. Love it's heavy stable flight characteristics and tracked true off pad on an Estes C6-5 

Restored boys faith after Sky Twister bit it earlier in the afternoon

Note: correction in spelling SKYTRAX not two "X" at end
