Decent launch, but delay too long. Ahoy! Landed hard on ice, but no damage. Didn't realize this motor was nay recommended with this rocket. Blimey! - A8-3 [More]

Triskelion

Flight

Outer fin broke off in transportation, but we launched anyway. Avast! Rocket still flew perfectly, albeit with spin. Great flight and recovery. Avast! Easy repair. - B6-4 [More]

   

Deuce's Wild

Flight

Had t' make up for t' failed last attempt. Ahoy! Blimey! Beautiful, high flight, shiver me timbers, virtually straight up. Blimey! Blimey! Landed within 50 feet o' pad. - C6-5 x 2 [More]

   

Deuce's Wild

Flight

Deuce's Wild

Flight

First flight for this rocket, and me first cluster ever. Aye aye! Perfect ignition, beautiful straight flight, recovered close t' pad. Blimey! - B6-4 x 2 [More]
