Flight Log - 2015-03-28 - Matthew Bond's Estes Super Alpha
A plus sized version of the venerable Alpha, built around a BT-60 body tube.
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.

Second flight of the Super Alpha, and a nice repeat of the pattern of the day. Nice smooth boost, good chute deployment near apogee, minimal drift, although it did seem to hang up in a thermal for a bit. Relatively short walk, landed on the edge of the field with no damage.
