Flight Log - 2013-10-21 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Carded Downscale Bandito

BT-5 downscale of the classic Centuri kit.

Wedge fins are folded 110 lb. cardstock. Streamer recovery.

Flight Date: 2013-10-21
Rocket Name: Carded Downscale Bandito
Kit Name: Centuri - Bandito {Kit} (5007, KA-7) [1972-1981]
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen
Motors: Estes A3-4t
Launch Site: Schoolyard Soccer field
Actual Altitude: 600 Feet

With the A3-4t, this BT-5 based model was very stable with no added nose weight. I would estimate the altitude at 600'. The streamer ejected and the model landed in the backyard of the home at the upper right in the picture. Print and make another.
