In honor of James Shattell's Level 3 attempt with the Extremely Fat Boy (one of those not paying off efforts) I led off with the Micro Fat Boy on its first flight. James's was the largest rocket ever flown on our field; mine, probably, was the smallest. I asked for lots of eyes on this MMX model, the grass being what it was. Turns out I did see it land but that was about all I saw of the flight. The orange streamer crammed inside the nose cone helped visibility both on the descent and on the ground.
