Flight Log - 2017-11-11 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Estes Curvlinear

A conversion from 13mm to 18mm for A8-3 and B6-4 flights. Small amount of nose weight added to move the C/G forward. All other build steps were the same.

Flight Date: 2017-11-11
Rocket Name: Estes Curvlinear
Kit Name: Estes - Curvilinear {Kit} (003231) [2012-?]
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen
Motors: Quest Chinese made B6-4
Expected Altitude: 400 Feet
Wind Speed: 15.00 mph
Launch Site: NEFAR - Clegg Sod Farm
Actual Altitude: 400 Feet

The .16 oz. of nose weight was enough to compensate for the heavier B6-4 engine and gave a very stable flight.
The Chinese made Quest engine really gave a good ride to about 400'. Full chute at ejection and a long recovery walk because of the wind.
