This is a scratch built 2 foot long Saranac Root Beer bottle rocket. Constructed from a plastic coin bank, it originally flew on a 29mm Aerotech G104 motor and everything was fine. This time it was flown on a much heavier (and more powerful) 54mm Aerotech I115W motor. It was totally unstable due to the excess weight in the rear. It careened through the sky, spiraled and land-sharked. This rocket was flying parallel to the ground as it "landed" in the waist high grass in the field to our west. This slowed it down and kept everything intact as it landed under thrust. Seconds later the parachute ejected on the ground. There was a trail through the grass as to where it flew and grass was wrapped around the forward edge of all the fins, the rail button, and the nosecone. Flown at the June 12, 2010 monthly launch of the Champlain Region Model Rocket Club - CRMRC in St. Albans Vermont.
