Flight Log - 2016-08-20 - Richard Holmes's R13

Rear eject cone stabilized rocket masquerading as a barely functional clarinet, or possibly vice versa.

Flight Date: 2016-08-20
Rocket Name: R13
Flyer's Name: Richard Holmes
Motors: D21-4
Launch Site: Syracuse Rocket Club (Weigand's Field)

It was time for the first flight of the R13. The Aerotech single use D21-4 was maybe too much power. It scooted. Coned like crazy, but it went up. Popped the chute and came down for a wonky but successful flight. After picking it up I removed the mouthpiece cap and played a bit of music while bringing it back.
