Flight Log - 2012-12-29 - Mark Rose's Performance Rocketry Competitor 3
Used Aeropack Tailcone motor retainer and SCR airfoiled rail guides--compliment the sleek lines nicely while not hurting Aero one bit. Perfectflite Stratologger altimeter with a Featherweight Altimeters screw switch and small Blastcaps on each av-bay end. Added 16oz weight to the nose, and shouldn't have--it didn't need it.

Arrow straight but landed about 1.3 miles away due to higher than expected upper winds. Went to mach 1.06 as well as being over two miles in altitude. This rocket does have the SCP aero rail buttons and the Aeropack tailcone motor retainer, which helped the extra altitude.
