Flight Log - 2019-05-18 - Richard Holmes's Yankee
Built for NARTREK Bronze streamer and parachute duration flights. Estes shock cord was replaced with a Kevlar line tied to a fin and going up the outside of the body tube, allowing near-horizontal recovery. Estes streamer was replaced for duration flights with a wide pleated Mylar streamer and a Mylar chute. Rocket not painted until after duration flights.
