Flight Log - 2012-08-12 - Steve Lindeman's Goonydent

Built from plans by Excelsiorrocketry.com useing 2 Baby Bertha kits, 3 18" BT-5 tubes and 6 BNC-5 cones plus one extra BNC-60 cone to be used on the lower section to protect against ejection gases. Total investment: approx. $45.00 making it a very expensive kit bash but worth it for the looks I get at the field. Always a head turner.

Good lift-off with ejection at apogee. Parachute didn't open. Got tangled with NC & shock cord. Came down parallel with ground & cracked the fin seams on the two fins that hit the ground first. Rocket will be repaired.
