Flight Log - 2015-08-08 - Ken Johnson's Starhawk

A 3FNC kit for clubs and such

Flight Date: 2015-08-08
Rocket Name: Starhawk
Kit Name: Quest - Starhawk {Kit}
Flyer's Name: Ken Johnson
Motors: Quest A6-4
Expected Altitude: 1,000 Feet
Wind Speed: 3.00 mph
Launch Site: Ball Ground GA
Actual Altitude: 60 Feet

I don't know if it was a bad motor or what, but this was a bit disappointing. It went up about 60 feet and arched over, landing in a briar bush. No damage. This is one of my favorite rockets and is a good one to gauge wind currents.  I may retire it though, as it has started to show a little wear. Nah, I'll fix it and keep her flying. She's nearly 20 years old!
