Flight Log - 2013-10-19 - Mark Rose's Performance Rocketry Competitor 3

Used Aeropack Tailcone motor retainer and SCR airfoiled rail guides--compliment the sleek lines nicely while not hurting Aero one bit.  Perfectflite Stratologger altimeter with a Featherweight Altimeters screw switch and small Blastcaps on each av-bay end.  Added 16oz weight to the nose, and shouldn't have--it didn't need it.

Straight up without any wiggle or loss of vertical tracking.  Despite going nearly 2 miles high, it landed 300 yards away, completely undamaged.  Perfect flight.  This rocket is a machine--it just flies really darn well, no matter what I put in it.
