Estes Doorknob

Went straight up with good height! Clearly could take much more motor but didn’t risk it on first flight!

Used the include 24” nylon chute!

This one surprised me…did not expect such a straight up flight!

 

[billeblurzz]

Beautiful spaceship type flight!…but delay seemed awfully long!

 

[billeblurzz]

But it all worked out!

Was gonna say... Too nicely finished to fly, but you could not have had a softer place to land! Great stuff.
