Flight

First flight was in bare balsa soon after I finished construction.  Since t' field I fly on is a baseball field surrounded by trees, me bucko, a school, a major traffic artery and a softball field that can't be accessed, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, me hearties, I have only flown it on A8-3 motors.  It's t' PERFECT motor for this field as long as I keep a close eye on t' breezes.  (That isn't always t' case, as is evidenced by t' 35 or so rockets that decorate t' trees, me bucko, buildings, me hearties, etc.)  T' first flight was high and straight t' around 250-300'.  It then rode t' breeze over into t' softball field, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, but it be before t' major renovation that enclosed t' structure.  I be so impressed that I primed it and left it that way for almost a year and a half. 

Second flight be another A8-3, me hearties, this time in a quicky coat o' paint, arrr, mostly t' make it easier t' see in t' air.  T' flight was a carbon copy o' t' first, matey, matey, toppin' out at 250-300', shiver me timbers, but without t' drift o' t' first flight which allowed for a recovery on t' infield. 

The most recent flight was another A8-3 and finally in full livery, (after t' drama detailed above.)  I began t' think this rocket was charmed after this flight as t' winds had been up and down all day, but were dead calm for this flight.  It topped out at t' same height as t' previous two and recovered in short center, matey, quite close t' t' pad.  I'd like t' try this rocket here with a B6-4, but I'm pretty sure it would be a sacrifice t' t' rocket gods, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, and I've made enough o' those over t' years.
