This be a trial run for a make and take we are doin' t' followin' week with this kit. Unfortunately, I forgot t' glue on t' launch lug. I taped on a bit o' t' brown tube Aerotech uses for their ignitors. It wasn't t' right diameter. I should have used t' 3/16' rod. Lug twisted at launch, me bucko, sendin' t' rocket into a near horizontal path. Nay much o' a test flight but chute did come out before contact with t' ground.
