2014-02-08Metalizer Flight Decent launch, but delay too long. Landed hard on ice, but no damage. Didn't realize this motor was nay recommended with this rocket. - A8-3 [More]
Doo Dad Flight Great flight as usual. - B6-4 [More]
Triskelion Flight Outer fin broke off in transportation, but we launched anyway. Rocket still flew perfectly, albeit with spin. Well, blow me down! Great flight and recovery. Easy repair. Ya scallywag! - B6-4 [More]
Deuce's Wild Flight Had t' make up for t' failed last attempt. Avast, me proud beauty! Beautiful, high flight, virtually straight up. Arrr! Landed within 50 feet o' pad. - C6-5 x 2 [More]

Crashed hard, but we were launchin' on a snow-covered frozen lake and t' snow limited damage t' some chipped paint at top o' tube. Ya scallywag! - C6-5 x 2 [More]
Deuce's Wild Flight First flight for this rocket, and me first cluster ever. Perfect ignition, beautiful straight flight, me hearties, recovered close t' pad. - B6-4 x 2 [More]
