Flight Log - 2011-10-16 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Finless (Centuri Plan)

Model built from old Centuri plans.

3" long shroud on back provides some stability. You also add .40 oz. of clay weight.

Long and lean. I've wanted to build this one for years. 

Flight Date: 2011-10-16
Rocket Name: Finless (Centuri Plan)
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen
Motors: C6-5
Launch Site: TTRA Tampa Tripoli Site, Plant City

Never should have flown it with a C6-5, too much weight in the back. Skywriter with a C. From the Centuri plans, the only recommended engines are A8-3, A5-2 and B4-2. No damage on recovery except for a broken shock cord.
