Flight Log - 2009-08-12 - Steve Lindeman's 36 D Squared

2119 36 D SQUARED™

The 2006 Estes catalog has this to say: What a beauty! This is the one you've been dreaming about! It’s got the full package. Sleek, yet full body design, a payload section, laser cut fins and waterslide decals. This rocket launches on two Estes D size model rocket engines and is recovered by a large 24 in. parachute.

Both motors lit on cue. Nice fast lift with parachute at apogee. Nice gentle decent into neighbors field just across the road. No major damage to rocket but did find a small burn hole between motors on one side of bottom of MM. Not sure what caused it but will plug or patch for next flight and see if it happens again.
