Flight Log - 2019-12-28 - Ty Bliss's Spirit

 

Spirit is a robust "almost ready to fly" kit.

It can be flown as a higher-altitude two-stage rocket using the Estes B-55 booster.  

Flight Date: 2019-12-28
Rocket Name: Spirit
Kit Name: Estes - Spirit {Kit} (2492) [?-?]
Flyer's Name: Ty Bliss
Motors: C6-0/B6-6
Launch Site: Blue Mountain Foothills - Primary Wheat Field
Actual Altitude: 200 Feet

I goofed up this two-stage flight when I used a C6-0 instead of a C11-0 in the B-55 booster. I remember thinking "something doesn't feel right here", but I didn't slow down and double-check everything. Right after lift-off Spirit veered off course and flew like a missile way down range!
