Flight Log - 2008-04-13 - SRP Crew's Egg Courier

A courier tube (how it got it's name). Nose cone is a plastic easter egg compartment for...you guessed it. And the fins were a complex set of being a main ring fin, held on by 4 flat fins, and finished off with 4 small outer tube fins.

The rocket went up slow and nice and deployed okay. The chute may have been a little undersized as the duration was only 19.3 seconds. The recovery showed that the raw chicken egg was perfectly intact. Good launch!
