Flight Log - 2015-04-05 - Dennis Wright's Wildchild_1_Black

First Wild Child kit.  My first fiberglass kit build.  Naked black w/ silver vinyl from StickerShock.

Flight Date: 2015-04-05
Rocket Name: Wildchild_1_Black
Kit Name: Wildman Rocketry - Wild Child {Kit}
Flyer's Name: Dennis Wright
Motors: G64-10
Expected Altitude: 3,400 Feet
Wind Speed: 4.00 mph
Launch Site: Home

Another 20 year old G64-10 with a new delay grain.  Copperhead failed to ignite.  Replaced with a First Fire Jr. starter.  Motor chugged and puffed before finally lifting off slowly.  Once off the pad, it picked up speed and went out off sight.  The 18" Top Flight chute deployed as expected and brought the rocket down about 1800 feet North of the launch pad. No altimeter. I have not yet replaced the Altimeter Two lost on 1/24/15.
