Flight Log - 2016-08-04 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's MPC Red Giant

Chinese import made by Sky rockets. New graphic treatment on the body tubes.

Plastic? wound tubes and launch lugs. Too large a chute at 18". 

Flight Date: 2016-08-04
Rocket Name: MPC Red Giant
Kit Name: MPC/Round 2 - Red Giant {Kit}
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen
Motors: Estes B6-2
Expected Altitude: 175.00 Feet
Launch Site: Schoolyard Soccer field

Nice slow boost, good rocket for small field or demos.

B6-2 is not a recommended engine, MPC says to use only a C6-5. B6-2 was fine, a B6-3 would be even better. 

12" Odd'l chute brought it back fine.
