Flight Log - 2011-07-06 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Starlight Jayhawk

I revamped this kit to make it closer to the old Centuri kit by adding a boat tail, flare tube and moving the canards forward on the nose cone. 1/4 oz. of clay nose weight was added. 

Flight Date: 2011-07-06
Rocket Name: Starlight Jayhawk
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen
Motors: Estes A8-3
Launch Site: Schoolyard Soccer field
Actual Altitude: 250 Feet

Everything was great until I picked up the model. The nose cone canard and leading edge of one large fin took a hard hit. It's not easily repairable, but I'll patch it enough to fly again.
