Flight Date: 2011-10-16
Rocket Name: Ballistic Bovine
Kit Name: Madcow Rocketry - Cowabunga {Kit} (K-128)
Flyer's Name: G Dog
Expected Altitude: 2,500 Feet
Wind Speed: 10.00 mph
Launch Site: MDRA
Actual Altitude: 2,400 Feet

Windy again this month, but much less weathercocking(almost none) with a longer launch rail this time and more motor doing the pushing(Skidmark H123) !!  Chute deployment was perfect this time(thankfully) and after a 350 yard walk (which I did not mind in the least) the rocket was recovered again in perfect shape. This launch was a drag race against my wife and her Cowabunga(she did it in pink and dubbed it the "Porkchop Express") which she had just qualified for her Level 1 with an hour earlier(H73)-her first rocket build and flight of any kind ! ... I'm pretty sure the Bovine whipped the Pig.... right ???   (altitude is estimated)
