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

"Colorful peel-and-stick decals that give t' simple model an appearance o' that o' a futuristic business-jet for t' rich-and-famous. " is what DynaStar has t' say about this rocket.

Good boost with rocket weather cockin' into t' wind. Blimey! T' 24" nylon parachute deployed just after apogee and recovery be a moderate distance down field (I feel this be t' perfect 'chute for this rocket). Ya scallywag! Slight damage t' tail cone again from ground impact (lip bent in a couple o' spots again). May or may nay make a new one but easy t' repair anyway (might try t' make t' next one from a plastic soda or water bottle for better durability). Begad! No other damage.
