Flight Log - 2013-07-20 - Bill Eichelberger's Fishhead Rocketry - Viking IV

Upscale of the FSI Viking 4.

Flight Date: 2013-07-20
Rocket Name: Fishhead Rocketry - Viking IV
Kit Name: Scratch - Viking IV {Scratch}
Flyer's Name: Bill Eichelberger
Motors: E9-4
Launch Site: NARAM 55, Aurora, Ohio
Actual Altitude: 900 Feet

Stuck the landing on recover and broke off one of the tube fins, but still a great flight overall.  No launch shot because it was accidentally triggered with another smaller rocket that we were all supposed to be watching, and which left the pad much quicker.  We were all watching this flight when the Viking IV suddenly crossed the path of the smaller rocket, which was quickly lost.
