Flight Log - 2017-07-14 - Chris Gonnerman's Skylark

This is a personal design of mine.  I was trying for a larger-diameter rocket in the general style of the Blue Bird Zero, i.e. long and sleek with relatively small fins.  The upper fins are mirror images top-to-bottom of the lower fins.  OpenRocket indicates nearly perfect deployments with all four recommended engines, and I can attest that it is a pretty flier on a pair of C6-5 engines.
