Flight Log - 2012-08-19 - Tom Rankin's Core Sample II
I bought this kit from a no-name supplier on Ebay. The parachute did not deploy on the first flight but the nose cone popped off. This truly was a core sample flight. I rebuilt the rocket with a new section of body tube and new nose cone. I also added a 24mm adapter. The successive flights have been without incident.
