Flight Log - 2013-11-03 - Bill Eichelberger's Estes - Yellow Star Crayon

An RTF bird that little kids will enjoy.  Decent performer and a great choice for a first rocket due to it being ready to fly almost immediately upon opening the package.  Surprisingly decent length of elastic, but it's likely to fail after only a few flights.

Straight up, turned over, straight down.  Ejection happened about 30 feet from the ground, but it all held together.
