Flight Log - 2011-06-11 - Preston Hoover's Night Hawk

Rocket is a boosted glider with streamer recovery for booster, and glider for payload.  I do not have the glider trimmed correctly.  It did a nose duve into the ground and broke a wing.  UGH

The rocket flew well reovbered nicely.  The glider did not fare so well.  It took a noser into the ground and broke a wing.  I will have to repair it and get help trimming it correctly.
