Flight Log - 2015-09-05 - Ken E. Coyote's TLP AGM-65B Maverick

One of my early TLP builds.  Used kevlar shock cord; however I later replaced with elastic since it snapped (one I used was too thin/fragile).

Flight Date: 2015-09-05
Rocket Name: TLP AGM-65B Maverick
Kit Name: The Launch Pad - Maverick {Kit} [?-?]
Flyer's Name: Ken E. Coyote
Motors: D12-3

Used mini-rail again; however this time the rocket flew off a bit to the left and landed squarely in the middle of the river.  It slooowly floated over to opposite bank and was retrieved.  Minor damage – looks flyable after removing bloated motor and some minor repairs.
