Flight Log - 2012-01-14 - K Sonesen's Big Baby Bertha
I built this upscaled Baby Bertha from scratch with a 24mm motor mount.
It is what it looks like (an Estes Baby Bertha), just bigger.

For a first flight, it was a roaring success. It's fairly light but with a large motor tube it has a bit of drag. The rocket weather-cocked a little but nothing worth getting excited about. Recovery was uneventful and there was no damage. Can't ask for more than that on an inaugural flight.
Yes, it's still in primer. I'm working on that!
