Flight Log - 2015-06-20 - Steve Lindeman's Sky Spike

New Way Space Models are the New Kids on the Block so to speak. They have only been around a few years but offer something different than everyone else. All their rockets come with square body tubes and launch lugs.

Flight Date: 2015-06-20
Rocket Name: Sky Spike
Kit Name: New Way Space Models - Sky Spike {Kit} [2011-]
Flyer's Name: Steve Lindeman
Motors: C6-5
Wind Speed: 4.00 mph
Launch Site: JMRC-M.I.S./Graves Farm Campground

Didn't have any C6-3's so chose a 5sec. delay instead not that it made a difference. Rocket was in trouble shortly after lift-off vering heavily to the left. As it went horizontal gravity started taking effect so that by the time engine burned out it was already on the ground. When ejection charge fired, NC and 'chute were blown across grass.  Surprisingly no damage occurred.
