Model Rocket - Skyhawker Launch 26 (1/6/2012)

Time: 4:20 pm. Temperature: 46 degrees. Wind blowing ~5 mph from the west. Partly cloudy. Tested infrared thermometer to measure temperature of rocket exhaust. Launched with Altimeter One to measure peak altitude. Good flight, but very low. Rocket began descending while engine still thrusting. Parachute deployed and opened. Daniel caught the rocket about 8 yards south-southeast of the launch site. No damage. Altimeter measured 103 feet. Note: Thought the rocket was loaded with a B, not an A engine (wouldn't have launched with a payload).
