Flight Log - 2020-07-14 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Estes Tazz

BT-50 based update of the old Estes Gyroc.

Same wing fin and flaps but better rubber band hooks and hinges.

18mm engine mount eject activates fin flaps.

Flight Date: 2020-07-14
Rocket Name: Estes Tazz
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen
Motors: Estes A8-3
Expected Altitude: 275 Feet
Launch Site: Schoolyard Soccer field
Actual Altitude: 275 Feet

There was some turning during boost. Ejection popped out the engine mount, the vanes flipped putting it into a fast spin. It came down faster than I expected, but still safe. The streamer on the engine mount unfurled and was easy to follow and find.
