Flight Log - 2017-11-11 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Estes Curvlinear

A conversion from 13mm t' 18mm for A8-3 and B6-4 flights. Small amount o' nose weight added t' move t' C/G forward. All other build steps were t' same.

Rocket Name: Estes Curvlinear
Kit Name: Estes - Curvilinear {Kit} (003231) [2012-?]

T' .16 oz. o' nose weight be enough t' compensate for t' heavier B6-4 engine and gave a very stable flight.
T' Chinese made Quest engine really gave a good ride t' about 400'. Ahoy! Full chute at ejection and a long recovery walk because o' t' wind.
