Flight Log - 2013-02-02 - K Sonesen's Bottle Bat 3.0 (Tube Fin)
Yet another Larry Brand tube fin design that I cloned from his article here on Rocket Reviews. Well, all but the soda bottle nose cone as it turns out that modern bottles are no longer properly sized to fit in a 3" body tube. I used a standard LOC 3" nose cone.
I named this rocket "Big Pink II" as the downscale version (Bottle Bat 2.6) was named "Big Pink".

This flight was one of the last of the day for me. The weather had finally improved to the point where the sky actually looked blue instead of white. The wind had picked up a little but nothing to be concerned over. The boost was straight and true, deployment occurred at apogee, and the rocket touched down about 150 feet from my vehicle so I was happy.
