Flight Log - 2017-07-08 - JR Johnson-Roehr's Navajo AGM

Two-stage rocket. Old kit.

Flight Date: 2017-07-08
Rocket Name: Navajo AGM
Kit Name: Quest - Navaho AGM {Kit} (3003)
Flyer's Name: JR Johnson-Roehr
Motors: B6-0+B6-4
Launch Site: CMASS Acton Launch School Street Field

Super stressed about launching a two-stage rocket on its maiden voyage, but stepped up to the 3rd or 4th launch of the day to get it done. Good altitude, clean separation, hard landing for the booster. Great kid watched the booster and brought me back all three pieces of it (snapped fin, sheared fin, remainder). Also hard landing for the body, as I used the original, patched parachute, and it didn't open as it should have. No damage to body. Would like to see this on a C6-0/C6-4 combo, but not enough room at School Street. Wind must have been low because the body landed well inside the field.
