Flight Log - 2014-07-26 - Matthew Bond's Estes Der Pink Max

Estes Der Red Max kit finished with a Pink & Purple paint scheme and decal set from Excelsior for my daughter.

Rocket Name: Estes Der Pink Max
Kit Name: Estes - Der Red Max {Kit} (651) [2007-]
Flyer's Name: Matthew Bond
Motors: C6-5
Expected Altitude: 700.00 Feet
Wind Speed: 5.00 mph
Launch Site: C-61 DZ

Aother day with the kids on the DZ.  Started off with the Pink Max.  Nice boost, arcing into the wind during the coast, more or less horizontal at ejection.  Nose cone seperated but the chute bundle jammed in the body tube.  Tumble recovery onto the field, no damage.  I think this is three of the last four flights that I haven't been able to get the chute to deploy cleanly.
