Flight Log - 2019-08-17 - Steve Lindeman's Tinkerbell II

Tinkerbell II is a replacement of the original that I lost at a club launch. I made two changes on this build. First I filled the end between centering rings with spray foam. And 2nd, I went with twin 15" Mylar parachutes just to see how they work. 

Flight Date: 2019-08-17
Rocket Name: Tinkerbell II
Flyer's Name: Steve Lindeman
Motors: F15-6
Expected Altitude: 970.00 Feet
Wind Speed: 8.00 mph
Launch Site: JMRC-M.I.S./Graves Farm Campground

This flight was a test of twin parachutes for recovery. Launch was great with great altitude. Both parachutes deployed as hoped and rocket drifted a moderate way down range with no damage on recovery.
