Flight Log - 2013-02-02 - Matthew Bond's 1.77x Upscale Duster "Slick Willy"

An upscaled Thrustline Duster, using Semroc body tubes and nose cone, 1/8" plywood fins, 38mm motor mount.  Dual deploy using a Perfectflight MAWD, 12" Top Flite drogue chute, and a 36" hemispherical main by Spherachutes.  My level 1 certification rocket.

Rocket Name: 1.77x Upscale Duster "Slick Willy"

Since I hadn't prepped any rockets before hand I decided to see how mant time I could prep and fly my dual deploy level 1 workhorse.  Great boost, smooth and straight off the rail.  The CTI white motors are nice, but still not near as cool as AT White Lightning!  Once again drifting with the wind during the climb, arcing over near apogee.  Good drogue deploy at apogee, good main deploy at 500 feet.  Grass landing on the field, no damage.
