Flight Log - 2010-04-09 - Preston Hoover's Purple Rocket
Flight Date: 2010-04-09
Rocket Name: Purple Rocket
Flyer's Name: Preston Hoover
Motors: A8-5
Launch Site: NEFAR - Clegg Sod Farm

This is the rocket's maiden flight. The dealy was too long ang it hit the ground nose fist. It survived no damage. The chute popped 2 secs. after impact. I think the A8-3 would still be too little of an engine for this rocket. Wind was also a factor.
