Flight Log - 2018-11-24 - Matthew Bond's Rocketarium Octagon

An 18mm saucer design with the frame built up around the central motor tube from 7 laser cut light plywood parts and the covering formed from interlocking cardstock panels.  The cardstock is plain white allowing for any possible decoration scheme.  The flight profile is low altitude, high drag, for a fun, close to the pad flight.

Fog starting to lift a bit, still had one more low/slow flight to make.  Great boost, nice and straight off the rod, with the wide flat base sucking up a big column of smoke behind it.  Flipped over at apogee shortly after motor burnout and floated gently back to the field.
