Flight Log - 2015-03-07 - K Sonesen's BAR Crayon 38mm

This is a modified version of the Bay Area Rocketry 38mm kit.  I moved the motor tube 2" aft, added a third centering ring, and an Aeropack retainer.  I also used a kevlar y-bridle, 15' of 9/16" tubular nylon, and a KSR 30H chute. All connections are made with 1/4" quicklinks. I added 5 ounces of ballast to the nosecone so that I can launch on I225 motors and similar.

Expected Altitude: 2,000.00 Feet

I achieved the perfect parachute burrito wrap but neglected to attach the chute to the shockcord quicklink.  A flat spin from about 2000' and no damage.  They build those crayons tough!  The parachute took its sweet time and eventually landed under a full canopy and slack risers.
