Flight Log - 2023-01-07 - Wes Munn's Bumble Bee

New scratch Build. Flew in January, but due to having only a single launch lug, left the low power pad unstable. Today it flew twice very stable.

Flight Date: 2023-01-07
Rocket Name: Bumble Bee
Flyer's Name: Wes Munn
Motors: A8-3
Launch Site: Dalzell, SC

Launched, then arced steeply almost 90 degrees then straight into the ground and deployed parachute on the grass. Based on photos, looks like it needed a second launch lug towards bottom of rocket to add more stability coming off the launch rod during ignition. This was subsequently corrected for future flights.
