Flight Log - 2015-04-24 - Bill Eichelberger's ****Estes - AIM-120 AMRAAM

Originally bought at NARAM 43 for my son as a Christmas gift.  He lost interest, so 14 years later I finished the project.

Flight Date: 2015-04-24
Rocket Name: ****Estes - AIM-120 AMRAAM
Kit Name: Estes - AIM-120 AMRAAM {Kit} (2153)

Motors: B6-4
Expected Altitude: 300.00 Feet

Picked this up for my son at NARAM 43 in 2001.  He started building it, then lost interest in the hobby.  Fourteen years later I finished it and gave it a first flight, and possibly the last.  300' flight that never looked to be in trouble.  I was getting recovery pics and put the camera down expecting to see the rocket laying on the ground, but it snagged a branch 25 feet up.  Supposed to rain tonight.
