Flight Log - 2015-05-30 - Steve Lindeman's Tinkerbell
Tinkerbell is a scratch built 38.5" long, 2" dia. rocket with a 29mm motor mount. She has a custom 8" nose cone that is a pencil cup holder that I bought on clearance at Wal-Mart for a buck. BT is slotted for TTW fin construction with custom made fairy wings. BT has a custom wrap around finish instead of being painted. I used Open Rocket 15.03 for layout and sims.

Maiden flight was on one of the new Estes Pro Series II E16-6's. Flight was straight and true and looked to be as high as predicted. Parachute was deployed at apogee and decent rate was good. Lot of drift in spite of light wind. Rocket was recovered over 100 yards down range with no damage. Excellent first flight and good choice of motor.
