I've been doin' this for 38 years, right?  Well, this be a first.  A straight up flight for t' Canaroc FK-3 clone I did in about an hour, but at ejection somethin' separated. Ya scallywag!  T' rocket recovered nicely at t' edge o' t' field in short right.  T' top o' t' nose cone landed almost on t' launch pad. Begad!  A two piece Estes cone. Blimey!  I FORGOT TO GLUE IT TOGETHER!!!!!  Don't worry folks, me bucko, he's a professional.
