Flight

First two flights were in unpainted "grip it and rip it" mode, me bucko, which is what I expect a lot o' these would fly like.  All three flights were at B6-4 Field because it's t' kind o' field I'd expect a bulk pack o' rockets t' fly on.  (So far that's been me experience.)  None o' t' flights at B6-4 Field were on a B6-4 because why tempt fate if your group o' kids want t' rocket back after t' flight.  (Also me experience talking.)  That said, arrr, t' first A8-3 flight was somewhat worrisome, me bucko, but nay because o' anythin' t' A8-3 did.  T' flight be straight t' about 250' and t' chute popped at t' requisite time, but t' rocket be facin' down and t' chute fouled on t' fins.  It came down fast and flat, hittin' hard on t' first base line.  I was expectin' some damage due t' t' hard hit, ya bilge rat, me bucko, but other than some impacted dirt on t' body tube and fin can, me hearties, all be well.  Nice bounce, btw.  T' second flight occurred immediately because me pride was bruised and I couldn't let that boink recovery define me E2X day.  Another A8-3, ya bilge rat, me bucko, another straight flight t' t' 250' mark, but this time a textbook infield recovery, sure t' elicit a feelin' o' triumph in any scout or science class kid.  VINDICATION!!!!  Flight three occurred after t' aforementioned paint and sticker job.  Another A8-3 t' t' same height as t' first two, but a center field recovery.  This wasn't due t' any excessive drift, shiver me timbers, me hearties, but because I up on t' edge o' t' infield on a breezy but warm November day.
