2014-02-08Metalizer Flight Decent launch, ya bilge rat, but delay too long. Well, blow me down! Landed hard on ice, shiver me timbers, but no damage. Aye aye! Didn't realize this motor was nay recommended with this rocket. - A8-3 [More]
Doo Dad Flight Great flight as usual. Aye aye! - B6-4 [More]
Triskelion Flight Outer fin broke off in transportation, shiver me timbers, but we launched anyway. Rocket still flew perfectly, albeit with spin. Blimey! Great flight and recovery. Easy repair. Ya scallywag! - B6-4 [More]
