Flight Log - 2016-04-24 - Steve Lindeman's Tinkerbell
Tinkerbell is a scratch built 38.5" long, 2" dia. rocket with a 29mm motor mount. She has a custom 8" nose cone that is a pencil cup holder that I bought on clearance at Wal-Mart for a buck. BT is slotted for TTW fin construction with custom made fairy wings. BT has a custom wrap around finish instead of being painted. I used Open Rocket 15.03 for layout and sims.

1st test flight for the Jolly Logic Chute Release. System set for 300'. Rocket launch was fast and straight and looked to be close to predicted altitude. Ejection charge was well past apogee. Rocket then fell to 300' at which time the chute release preformed flawlessly. Walk for recovery was far less than in the past.
