Flight Log - 2015-01-03 - K Sonesen's BAR Crayon 38mm

This is a modified version o' t' Bay Area Rocketry 38mm kit.  I moved t' motor tube 2" aft, added a third centerin' ring, and an Aeropack retainer.  I also used a kevlar y-bridle, arrr, 15' o' 9/16" tubular nylon, and a KSR 30H chute. Blimey! All connections are made with 1/4" quicklinks. Avast, me proud beauty! I added 5 ounces o' ballast t' t' nosecone so that I can launch on I225 motors and similar.

Magnificent flyin' weather with almost no breeze at all.  I225FJ actually put t' crayon up t' an estimated 2500'.  Rocket landed approximately 60' from where I was sittin' which made for an extremely short retrieval and it was in t' direction o' me car.  Gotta love it.
