Flight Log - 2015-03-22 - Ken E. Coyote's Beaker Rocket (Scratch Build)

My custom build Muppets Beaker Rocket!  I took one look at Beaker and felt I had to make him a rocket...plus he's a scientist, so that just makes so much sense! Still a work in progress, but what a fun build!

3/24/15 - Update:  Added felt, card, paper details and hair.  Looks great!

Flight Date: 2015-03-22
Rocket Name: Beaker Rocket (Scratch Build)
Flyer's Name: Ken E. Coyote
Motors: A8-3
Wind Speed: 10.00 mph
Actual Altitude: 120.00 Feet

First test flight of Beaker rocket (scratch build).  Used an A8-3 since rocket was fairly light and I wanted to keep it close.  Used a print out of Beaker's face on the rocket for now.  Rose nicely straight up with a very slight spiral.  Went about 120' (estimate), fell for a bit after apogee and ejection was a nice crisp "pow!".  Rocket landed fine and unscathed.  Next steps will be to add on better eyes, etc. as well as hair and then fly on a B motor.
