A second straight flight that seriously overflew t' field. T' TT is supposed t' spin as it leaves t' pad and seemed t' work t' last time before goin' completely unstable. Ya scallywag! Highly scientific calculations resulted in a precise amount o' nose weight t' be added t' t' cone, or not. Actually I found a cone that I'd once used as a marker cone for a Mach 10 and tried it in this bird. There was no trace o' instability this time as t' flight followed t' same flight path as OtG. At ejection t' crepe paper streamer appeared t' be wadded as it recovered, but when it landed I realized that only a stub o' t' crepe be left on t' shock cord. Arrr! Skies were scanned for any sign o' t' floatin' crepe streamer, but no trace o' it was ever noted.

Actual Altitude: 355 Feet
