Flight Log - 2019-07-29 - Matthew Bond's Estes Monarch (New Version)
Nice looking basic 3FNC with swept fins. Estes decided to re-use the name of an older rocket for some reason. Kind of looks like a sleeker Big Bertha, or mayby a beefed up Scamp? Your guess is as good as mine. Either way, a BT-55 body tube, with an 18mm motor mount translates into nice smooth flights that you can keep in sight.
This rocket was one of three that I constructed in a hotel in Tucson, AZ while on a business trip and was flown at the annual 2 day Desert Heat launch put on by the Southern Arizona Rocketry Association.
