Flight Log - 2007-09-09 - Steve Lindeman's Orion Transport

"Colorful peel-and-stick decals that give the simple model an appearance of that of a futuristic business-jet for the rich-and-famous. " is what DynaStar has to say about this rocket.

Flight Date: 2007-09-09
Rocket Name: Orion Transport
Kit Name: DynaStar - Orion Transport {Kit} (05029)
Flyer's Name: Steve Lindeman
Motors: D12-5
Wind Speed: 8.00 mph
Launch Site: JMRC-M.I.S.

Good boost with rocket weather cocking into the wind. The 24" nylon parachute deployed just after apogee and recovery was a moderate distance down field (I feel this is the perfect 'chute for this rocket). Slight damage to tail cone again from ground impact (lip bent in a couple of spots again). May or may not make a new one but easy to repair anyway (might try to make the next one from a plastic soda or water bottle for better durability). No other damage.
