Flight Log - 2014-09-20 - Richard Holmes's Patriot [RETIRED]

Built from kit won at last year's glider competition. Modified slightly by substituting single piece body tube for 3-piece. Some reviewers have said the supplied parachute is too small but I thought it was fine; I would not want a much slower descent.

Flight Date: 2014-09-20
Rocket Name: Patriot [RETIRED]
Kit Name: Estes - Patriot M104 {Kit} (2056) [2004-2010]
Flyer's Name: Richard Holmes
Motors: B6-4
Launch Site: Syracuse Rocket Club (Weigand's Field)

You can see it weathercocking into the wind from the right. Parachute recovery, but only 12" and reefed. Another good flight.
