Flight Log - 2011-08-13 - Preston Hoover's Lite Brite

Rocket is a scratch buuilt with tubular fins and a clear payload section for LEDS and a battery. 

Flight Date: 2011-08-13
Rocket Name: Lite Brite
Flyer's Name: Preston Hoover
Motors: C6-5
Expected Altitude: 350.00 Feet
Launch Site: Clegg Sod Farm, Bunnell, FL
Actual Altitude: 50.00 Feet

Rocket was unstable and did five big loops before it crashed with no deployment of shoot.  Seems too heavy for an 18mm motor.  May have to change the motor mount.  Also have to put more tubes or fins and tubes to make it stable..
