Flight Log - 2018-08-10 - Matthew Bond's Semroc ARCAS 1/3 Scale

1/3 Scale model of the Atlantic Research Corporation ARCAS Sounding Rocket.  Built as my entry into the scale contest at NARAM 60.

Flight Date: 2018-08-10
Rocket Name: Semroc ARCAS 1/3 Scale
Kit Name: Semroc - Arcas {Kit} (KS-8)
Flyer's Name: Matthew Bond
Motors: C6-5
Wind Speed: 2.00 mph
Launch Site: NARAM 60

First Flight of my NARAM 60 Sport Scale model.  For all the trouble I had building and finishing this particular rocket, at least it ended up flying well.  Once it was my turn in the queue there was a slight delay while the Sport Scale judge recovered from a close encounter with a rattlesnake.  After that excitement was dealt with I got a very nice straight boost off the rod, arcing into the slight breeze during the coast.  Good chute deployment at apogee with minimal drift, and ZERO damage points.
