Flight Log - 2008-05-18 - SRP Crew's SPIKE (Chornaiya Ship)

This long tube fin was originally named "Chornaiya" meaning black in Russian. The 4 flat fins coming out of the main tube fin as triangles made it look very prickly or sharp.  Therefore we nicknamed it SPIKE too.

Rocket Name: SPIKE (Chornaiya Ship)
Flyer's Name: SRP Crew
Motors: D12-5x2

Nice launch.  The motor mount stayed in the bottom end instead of popping out (like last launch). We can finally see the beautiful red and gold chute. It was a nice walk up to it after a 44.2 second duration. No damage. It would like to get it going on a F motor.
